Promoting collaboration and education around improving serious illness care in Pennsylvania
CQEL (formerly the Coalition for Quality at the End of Life) is a coalition of organizations including leading health systems, provider organizations, insurance companies, citizen groups, governmental agencies, and philanthropic, faith-based, and professional organizations that are concerned about the quality of care that is available to individuals and families in Pennsylvania who are dealing with serious illness, including but not limited to end of life.
Meetings are held 3-4 times a year and feature updates on serious illness and end-of-life issues in Pennsylvania and across the U.S.
The POLST Program in Pennsylvania is supported and administered under the auspices of CQEL and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation.
