We are a coalition of Catholic health ministries,
informed by our faith and values,
which through knowledge transfer, advocacy, and partnerships,
advances excellence in palliative care.

We envision a society in which all persons living with or affected by a chronic or life threatening condition receive compassionate, holistic, coordinated care.  This will include relief of pain, suffering and other symptoms from the time of diagnosis throughout the process of living and dying.  Such excellent care will be provided according to need, respecting the values and goals of individuals, their families and other loved ones.  It will assist them to live fully in community and will support survivors in their bereavement.  Through such care, we believe that God's healing love is revealed.
