Centers of Excellence
We provide training at skilled nursing facilities to improve communications about advance care planning. Become a Center of Excellence
Only 29% of physicians report having any formal training on how to speak with patients and their families about end-of-life care. Nearly half, 46%, indicate they are unsure of what to say during these conversations and worry about caregiver resistence. GOCCNJs 4Step iCare plan is a guide for healthcare professionals to use to faciliate discussions with patients so that medical treatment is aligned with goals of care. #goalsofcarewww.goalsofcare.org/healthcare-professionals/

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 :)
