On 11/28, The US House of Representatives passed the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA). If passed in the Senate, this act will increase access to palliative and hospice care for people living with serious illness. Education, training, research, increases in the number of palliative care faculty in accredited programs, and public awareness campaigns are just a few of the very important initiatives that will improve access to palliative care and hospice services.

Simply put, palliative care benefits patients, health systems, and payers. One barrier to palliative services is healthcare provider comfortability with having the conversation. If you're a clinician who is in need of support, use #GOCCNJ 4Step iCare Plan Conversation Assistant to guide you through the process with patients. #goalsofcare #palliativeVisit www.goalsofcare.org/healthcare-professionals/

In NJ, patients near the EOL receive more aggressive medical care than those in any other state in the US. Such high-intensity care is often unwanted and burdensome to patients and families. The #GOCCNJ 4Step iCare Plan is an individualized, simple, 4-step approach that helps patients and families navigate through challenging medical decisions.

This uses the Divi tabs module, so you can style it however you want using Divi's built in design controls! Pretty nifty eh? 
And of course you can add images or whatever you want here too. Tabs are nothing new, but tabs that display inside your mega menu are pretty awesome :)
