Compassion and Choices improves care, expands options, and empowers everyone to chart their end-of-life journey. We develop patient-directed end-of-life healthcare demonstration projects, provide CME- and CEU-bearing training, and advance federal legislative or regulatory reforms, to:

1. Address care for those living with dementia by normalizing advance-care planning so people can pre-claim their right to access exactly the kind of care they want – nothing more and nothing less.
2. Address inequities in end-of-life healthcare including increased access and improved quality for priority populations in partnership and collaboration with the impacted communities.
3. Transform the ER experience for dying patients by broadly implementing an existing model of care that integrates palliative medicine into emergency settings, which is proven to improve outcomes, increase satisfaction, and reduce expenses for patients and providers alike.

The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides medical grants to help children gain access to health-related services not covered, or not fully covered, by their parents’ commercial health insurance plan. Families can receive up to $5,000 annually per child ($10,000 lifetime maximum per child), and do not need to have insurance through UnitedHealthcare to be eligible. UHCCF’s mission is to significantly enhance the clinical condition or quality of life of children covered under a commercial health plan and are 16 years old or younger living in the United States.
