PCORI Roundtable Discussions

 

C-TAC was honored to receive the Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award for Capacity Building from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). We are using this support to develop regional leadership forums that tackle issues in advanced illness care.

C-TAC has worked with community partners to host a series of regional leadership forums in major cities around the United States, reaching patient and consumer advocates, health system leaders, faith leaders, and other key influencers who are working to improve advanced care.
