The Delaware Pain Initiative was founded in 1995 as the Delaware Cancer Pain Initiative. The name was changed in March 2003 to reflect our broader mission of reducing barriers that interfere with effective pain management for all persons in pain.

The Delaware Pain Initiative:

• Educates the public and healthcare professionals regarding the assessment and treatment of pain.
• Reduces barriers to effective pain management.
• Serves as a resource for state-of-the-art pain information.
