Over 15,000 individuals have benefited from the work of the AC Care Alliance founded in Alameda County, California. In 2013, five denominationally diverse African-American pastors in the county recognized increasing problems with serious health concerns among their congregants and poor integration of spiritual concerns into health care for those with serious illnesses. In response, with input from congregants, health systems, community groups and national organizations, the AC Care Alliance Advanced Illness Care Program™(ACCA-AICP) was developed.
We welcomed executive director, Rev. Cynthia Carter Perrilliat for a conversation around the essential role of the organization and the powerful outcomes for the community. With a network today of over 40 churches situated in multiple counties, the AC Care Alliance bridges the gap between health delivery systems, community organizations, faith-based communities and communities of color in managing advanced illness.
INELDA educator, doula, and advanced care planning expert, Valoria Walker moderates this informative discussion.
