Latino/Hispanic Community Engagement

Everyone deserves a say in their future healthcare, and for Latino and Hispanic communities, culturally sensitive end-of-life planning is crucial. By exploring care options, discussing wishes with loved ones and healthcare providers, and documenting plans, individuals can ensure their preferences are honored.

Community Spotlight

Drawing on over 30 years of public health leadership and her personal experiences, María Otero of Compassion & Choices reflects on why discussing death can be challenging for Latinos, how preparing for the end of life can bring peace of mind, the role of trusted community partnerships in advancing awareness and education, and more — watch the interview here.

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.

Our Goal

Since 2015, Compassion & Choices has made an intentional effort to reach Latino and Hispanic communities across the U.S. with end-of-life resources and support. Through events, storytelling, creating free bilingual resources, collaborating with partners, and more, Compassion & Choices is addressing inequities and equipping all people to take charge of their end-of-life care.
