Who Are We?
The Ventura County Coalition for Compassionate Care (VCCCC) was established in 2012 to promote and provide education about Advance Care Planning (ACP) and Physician’s Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) to the public and healthcare professionals. Our mandate is to educate not only the patients, but the healthcare community they collaborate with, including skilled nursing facilities, dialysis centers, hospitals and more.

From the California Coalition for Compassionate Care, our parent organization:
“Our local coalitions have established Advance Care Planning (ACP) and POLST in their communities and continue to provide ACP and POLST education to healthcare professionals across the continuum of care, including how to use ACP and POLST properly and how to facilitate meaningful ACP and POLST conversations with patients and families. These coalitions also educate consumers about POLST and Advance Care Planning, and serve as contacts in their community when any issues related to ACP and POLST arise.”
