Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) has joined the Supportive Care Coalition.  Representing CHW on the Coalition board of directors is Mary Carol Todd, MSN, RN, CMAC, corporate vice president for Medical Management and Palliative Care. 
“We are delighted to join the Supportive Care Coalition and from my first meeting can see how CHW can benefit from membership; the educational programs, advocacy efforts and ability to learn best practices from other hospitals and systems should accelerate our efforts to improve palliative care,” says Ms. Todd.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Catholic Healthcare West is the eighth largest hospital system in the nation and the largest not-for-profit hospital provider in California.  Facilities include 41 hospitals and medical centers in California, Arizona and Nevada.
