Board of Directors
Supportive Care Coalition's board of directors is composed of representatives from each of its member organizations. Directors set the goals and objectives of the Coalition, working collaboratively to enhance palliative care within their own organizations and in the health system at large. An elected executive committee convenes as needed to conduct business between the board's regular quarterly meetings.
