#GOCCNJ is excited to share the news that Atlantic Health System is our newest healthcare organization member. As one of the largest healthcare networks in New Jersey, Atlantic Health System is driven by a commitment to delivering the highest quality care to patients. We look forward to working together to improve care for #NJ residents living with serious illness. A special thank you to GOCCNJ Board Member Yvette Vieira for her ongoing dedication to our organization.
Now that the Governor has signed Community Based Palliative Care covered by Medicaid into law beginning in 2026, it is important that health professionals are educated and trained in palliative medicine.
