Legislative and Regulatory Advocacy
Our strategic plan serves as the guidance for our recommendations, letters, and testimony, which are developed by Coalition members as consensus-based messages for legislators, regulators, and policy makers. The purpose is to advance equitable access to quality care for serious illness.
We work together to present a united voice to the public and policy makers in order to improve the care of people with serious or life-limiting illnesses. We believe as a coalition our best role is to convene, advocate and streamline access and information regarding innovative and inclusive best practices and quality standards.
