Our Key Priorities
The time is now to prioritize care for all people at end-of-life.
The time is now to prioritize care for all people at end-of-life.
Our work is grounded in four key priorities: improving access to care, advancing health equity, innovating and specializing services, and building a sustainable future. Together, these commitments reflect a bold vision for change, one that uplifts the dignity of every person and ensures no one is left behind when it matters most.
Many structurally vulnerable individuals face significant barriers to receiving healthcare including inequitable access to public funding. We are committed to expanding access to sustainable care by sharing our expertise through consultation, collaborating to co-design and unify specialized programs and services, and empowering non-healthcare workers to advocate for and support individuals in all the places they call home.
Structural inequities in healthcare disproportionately impact people experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, substance use disorders, involvement with the justice system, disabilities, and those in Indigenous communities. These individuals often face stigma—even within healthcare settings. We are dedicated to changing the narrative about the dignity and worth of every person while working to eliminate systemic barriers to equitable end-of-life care.
End-of-life care must be tailored to the diverse, complex and holistic needs of structurally vulnerable populations. We are committed to co-designing, developing and implementing specialized, evidence-based models of care that address unique challenges and improve patient outcomes.
Our mission is to create lasting change in end-of-life care for structurally vulnerable populations. To sustain and expand this critical work, we seek collaborations and support from those who share our vision of a healthcare system that meets the needs of all people in their preferred place of care.
Join us in building a more compassionate, equitable future in end-of-life care, because it’s the commitment of caring individuals, communities, and organizations like yours that makes this vital work possible. Your support helps us reach those too often left behind, transforming care when it matters most.
