About Us
A serious illness can be profoundly disruptive, isolating and financially challenging, not just to patients and their families, but to their caregivers, who are often unpaid and overburdened.
Since its founding in 2010, The Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) has been their champion and their advocate. Representing their interests and working with legislators, decision makers, and advocates to find common ground and craft policies that deliver more comprehensive, equitable, and consistently funded care at scale.
Founded in 2010 by Bill Novelli and Tom Koutsoumpas, social change leaders and hospice benefit visionaries, C-TAC now occupies a unique space in the healthcare ecosphere. We are a nonprofit and recognized as the voice of the patient and family impacted by serious illness. We know the players and the landscape. We understand the issues. We collaborate across political parties, silos, disciplines, and disease groups.
Which earns us the ear—and trust—of everyone from industry changemakers to policy makers to families.
C-TAC is a coalition of 170 organizations that share our vision of person-centered care that meets patients’ goals and honors their dignity. Together we are opening the door to a new healthcare paradigm built on greater equity, public engagement, and workforce development.
