The Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey (GOCCNJ)<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\nGOCCNJ is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit comprised of nearly 35 statewide organizations representing the interests of older adults and people with serious illness, and the diverse group of providers that care for them including the academic institutions in NJ training the next generation of healthcare professionals. We also have established alliances with national organizations including the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (CTAC) and the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC). We recognize both organizations as unbiased sources of expertise on serious illness and are grateful for to them for their support of our work at the state level.<\/p>\n
