Working Together to Transform Advanced Illness

February 8, 2020

We are delighted to welcome the  Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) as an Honoring Choices National Partner. C-TAC is dedicated to the ideal that all Americans with advanced illness receive comprehensive, high-quality, person- and family-centered care that is consistent with their goals and values and honors their dignity. We will achieve this by empowering consumers, changing the health delivery system, improving public and private policies, and enhancing provider capacity. Founded by Co-Chairs of the Board of Directors, Tom Koutsoumpas and Bill Novelli, C-TAC is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization based in Washington, D.C. Find a list of C-TAC’s 160+ members, the C-TAC action plan, and more information on the organization here.  The C-TAC website has a wealth of information about advanced illness, upcoming national and regional meetings, webinars, and resources.
