Why when we think about serious illness do we tend to focus on physical diagnoses? What could the transformation of advanced care look like for patients and caregivers navigating serious mental illnesses? How can improving the experience of serious mental illness improve the experience of caregiving and experience of care when diagnosed with a serious illness?

Join C-TAC Member COMPASS Pathways and C-TAC’s Strategic Advisor, Torrie Fields for February’s Member Meet Up.
