The Fetzer Institute of Kalamazoo, Michigan will fund Spiritual Interventions and Health Outcomes, a Park Ridge Center research initiative. The project aims to refine our understanding of sprituality and spiritual interventions as they relate to health outcomes. The project's long-term goal is the development of measurement tools to demonstrate the effect of spirituality on health.

Home and Community-Based Services for Elders: An Ethics Resource for Healthcare Providers is being funded by the Retirement Research Foundation of Chicago. The Park Ridge Center project aims to improve the ability of professional and paraprofessional healthcare providers to address ethical problems that arise in home and community health care.
