Together with Linked UP Church in Georgia we recently hosted The Journey Home — a free event about the importance of advance care planning. Watch the recording to learn from hospice professionals, financial planners, and other experts about preparing for your future care and an end-of-life experience which aligns with your values.
Compassion & Choices is proud to offer a host of tools and resources to help you and your loved ones “finish strong” by planning for an end-of-life experience that matches the life you’ve enjoyed – defined by love, purpose and agency.
Motivated by the impact of racism, inequity and disparities in end-of-life care, we are connecting with people nationwide to spread the word about the importance of end-of-life care planning and accessing quality end-of-life care.
We’re informing and empowering the Black community about the power of end-of-life care and planning. Through events, storytelling, creating free resources, collaborating with partners, and more, Compassion & Choices is addressing inequities and equipping all people to take charge of their end-of-life care. Our guiding principles are unity, legacy and transformation.
Al’s involvement with Compassion & Choices was deeply personal. After caring for his mother at home during hospice and later losing his brother to COVID-19, he became committed to helping others navigate end-of-life planning.
Through these vital efforts, the council is raising awareness about end-of-life care, addressing healthcare inequities, and making end-of-life planning a communal conversation and process in Black spaces.
In this interview, Aerica shares more about her background, why she is passionate about serving with Compassion & Choices, and how she hopes to contribute to the important work of the African American Leadership Council.
