Join the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California and be part of the statewide collaborative community of individuals and organizations promoting high-quality, compassionate care for all Californians who are seriously ill or approaching the end of life.
As a member, you can expand your expertise with online and in-person trainings on important topics related to advance care planning and palliative care (with discounts on all trainings and for our Annual Summit), connect with your peers and a network of professionals dedicated to compassionate care, and stay up-to-date on relevant policies and legislation that impact your organization.

The Coalition for Compassionate Care California (CCCC) is engaging with the California Health and Human Services Agency, Office of Systems Integration, to provide subject-matter expertise to assist the State with research and planning for the implementation of a statewide electronic POLST (ePOLST) Registry.
Potential solution providers who may wish to bid on future procurements related to the ePOLST Registry Project should be aware of California’s conflict of interest laws, which include, but are not limited to, the Political Reform Act (Government Code section 81000, et. seq.); Government Code section 1090, et. seq.; Government Code section 87400, et. seq.; and Public Contract Code section 10365.5. Potential solution providers should consult with their legal counsel to determine the applicability of these laws and provisions and potential conflicts that could disqualify them from State procurement opportunities.
