2. Health Care That Works For All Californians The California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) is dedicated to advancing meaningful, measurable improvements in the way the health care delivery system provides care to the people of California, particularly those with low incomes and those whose needs are not well served by the status quo. We work to ensure that people have access to the care they need, when they need it, at a price they can afford. Health Care That Works For All Californians The Coalition for Compassionate Care of California is a statewide coalition of organizations, institutions, healthcare providers, state agencies and individuals working together to promote high-quality, compassionate palliative and end-of-life care for all Californians. We are working to ensure that organizations and communities have the information, knowledge and tools to increase access to palliative care.

4. Progress, Gaps & Opportunities The state has made progress increasing access to palliative care services in hospitals. A diverse group of California stakeholders are joining together to support policy reform, outreach, and education around quality palliative care, serving patients earlier than traditional end-of-life care services. Advance care planning and palliative care are not yet an integral part of the standard of care in California. Growing demand for palliative care far outstrips capacity.
