A program that is helping people with chronic illness live happier, healthier lives got a major boost in October.
The Patterson Foundation announced that it has extended its $5.6 million collaborative partnership with USF Health for the Bringing Science Home initiative from three years to five. And, the foundation announced a dollar-for-dollar matching challenge up to $2 million for donations benefiting the initiative.
Launched in June 2010, Bringing Science Home has become a model program for chronic illness care. The challenge opens up the possibility for a $4 million endowment to ensure the initiative thrives financially in perpetuity.
