Chicago End-of-Life Care Coalition is a multidisciplinary group of healthcare providers and interested residents from throughout the Chicago area who share a conviction that people should expect excellent care at the end of life, and that healthcare institutions should be able to meet that expectation.

Our members include physicians, nurses, social workers, clergy, volunteers and others who are associated with hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and congregations. Our membership is diverse, but our mission is constant. We address the spiritual, ethical, medical, and financial issues that affect provision of dignified and loving care at the end of life.

Understanding that hospitals, nursing homes and hospices that compete for patients need a neutral forum to exchange information on end-of-life care, CECC coordinates outreach and educational efforts for providers and the public. The CECC Speakers Bureau and citywide educational programming are key elements of our services.
