Community Conversations on Compassionate Care (CCCC), a program designed to help individuals over eighteen years of age complete health care proxies when healthy and update this advance directive across the health-illness continuum from wellness until end of life. Community Conversations on Compassionate Care (CCCC), an award-winning, nationally recognized program integrates the behavioral readiness to complete a health care proxy and focuses on choosing the right spokesperson and discussions that focus on values, beliefs and what is important to the person. “Five Easy Steps” are outlined in the CCCC Advance Care Planning booklet, the CCCC videos and the “Five Easy Steps” web page, interactive Advance Care Planning Clinical Pathway of More Than 1 Year and Advance Care Planning Clinical Pathway of Less Than 1 Year, and other web pages on www.CompassionAndSupport.org, the community website designed by the Initiative. The CCCC videos, housed on the website, are based on successful CCCC workshops conducted with patients and families across Upstate New York and with employees at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield. Outcomes measured by incresaed conversations and increased advance directives.

Our videos are based on 5 stories from families before and after the MOLST; view the video - Writing Your Final Chapter
