The Advance Care Planning and Healthy Living Through Faith (ACP-HLTF) Program aims to reduce racial disparities in advance care planning and to nurture the capacity of the African American Advance Care Planning/Palliative Care (AA ACP/PC) Network to lead efforts to overcome racial inequities across healthcare. 

Our long term goal is to see the AA ACP/PC Network become a dense community of clinicians, clergy, and scholars whose joint work improves the health and health care experiences of African Americans across the life span, with particular attention to the end of life. We seek to be a center of scholarship and relationship-building for those interested in race, justice, and health care at the end of life and to spearhead efforts that encourage both academic and community innovations in this domain.

We are proud to share the website we have built, Living Well and Dying Faithfully, which provides learning resources for African American clergy and churches about the basics of advance care planning, palliative care and treatment, and hospice services. The website also serves as a centralized database of end-of-life resources for academics, clinicians, and families.
