Who We Are

Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey (GOCCNJ) was founded in 2018 to better communicate, coordinate and collaborate on issues and activities to improve care for people in our state living with serious illness. We aim to increase access to high-quality, person-centered palliative and end-of-life care by convening stakeholders, identifying unmet needs, advocating for equitable policies and improved health outcomes, and sharing best practices and resources.

Our Vision

ALL patients with serious illness get the care they need and no less, and the care they want and no more.

Our Mission

Through research, education and advocacy, provide policy makers, healthcare providers, patients, and family caregivers with the information, resources, training, and tools they need to provide high-quality, person-centered advance care planning, palliative and end-of-life care services.

Who We Represent

GOCCNJ is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the only network of nearly 35 statewide organizations in NJ working together to represent the interests of older adults and people with serious illness, and the diverse group of providers that care for them. We also have established alliances with national organizations including the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (CTAC) along with strategic partners and academic alliances with leading teaching institutions in NJ training the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Our Values

We believe human interests and personal values must be at the core of medical decision-making. As such, we aspire to create a standard of care for NJ where people receive care that is consistent with their goals and values and honors their dignity.
