We can change what people face as they come to the end of life.

Every dying person needs to be able to count on excellent care. Americans for Better Care of the Dying (ABCD) aims to improve end-of-life care by learning which social and political changes will lead to enduring, efficient, and effective programs. We work with the public, clinicians, policymakers, and other end-of-life organizations to make change happen.

Our goals are to:

1. Build momentum for reform
2. Explore new methods and systems for delivering care
3. Shape public policy through evidence-based understanding

Please join with us and support the effort to make real change in end-of-life care. Make a difference, become an ABCD member. Contact us for details.
