The visibility of end-of life-options among the African American community is historically low. Compassion & Choices’ African American Leadership Council is taking an active role in changing that, by engaging with organizations that speak to and for African Americans, bringing greater diversity to our volunteer base and sharing the experiences of African Americans facing end-of-life issues.

The AANHPI Leadership Council shares their perspectives, experiences and expertise to help us understand what end-of-life choice means to our communities — for example, changing perceptions of hospice and palliative care — and help us strategize ways to elevate the importance of community and culture at the end of life.
The nation’s growing Latino population is underrepresented in the movement to empower end of life choices. The Latino Leadership Council helps Compassion & Choices reach out to Latino leaders and constituents, address language and cultural barriers to understanding, recruit Latino volunteers and storytellers, develop culturally relevant materials and educate the Latino media.
The Healthcare Advisory Council is an interdisciplinary collective of healthcare professionals with broad experience in supporting end-of-life care across the country. The perspective of the Healthcare Advisory Council is key in providing insight and practical guidance as we work towards our strategic plan and our mission to affirm life and accept the inevitability of death, expand options for compassionate dying and empower everyone to choose end-of-life care that reflects their values, priorities, and beliefs.
Compassion & Choices' LGBTQ+ Leadership council is committed to raising awareness around the healthcare disparities and barriers that the LGBTQ+ community faces. We created the LGBTQ+ Leadership Council to build partnerships with LGBTQ+ leaders and organizations to help educate and empower LGBTQ+ Americans to chart their own end-of-life care journey.
