Healthcare Advisory Council

The Healthcare Advisory Council is an interdisciplinary collective of healthcare professionals with broad experience in supporting end-of-life care across the country. The perspective of the Healthcare Advisory Council is key in providing insight and practical guidance as we work towards our strategic plan and our mission to affirm life and accept the inevitability of death, expand options for compassionate dying and empower everyone to choose end-of-life care that reflects their values, priorities, and beliefs.
