CACCC is building a community in which Chinese Americans are able to face end of life with dignity and respect.
Goals
Encourage dialogue among Chinese Americans about end of life issues so that it is viewed as a natural part of life.
Enhance advanced illness and end of life care by improving advance care planning and decision-making for Chinese Americans through community outreach education and volunteer, caregiver, and health professional training.
Empower Chinese Americans by improving access to end of life resources: producing original Chinese language materials or translating existing materials into Chinese and providing referrals to appropriate agencies.
Use a coalition model, where expertise and resources are shared, to ensure Chinese Americans receive exceptional end of life care and services that address physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual needs.
