Anna Gosline shares her experience in an op-ed: We are being told to do a lot of things these days: Wash your hands. Don't touch your face. Wear a mask outside. Stock the house with two weeks of food. Dust off your will. And make sure to complete your advance directive and talk to the people who matter in your life about your wishes for end-of-life care.

The Massachusetts Coalition for Serious Illness Care, a Boston-based coalition of more than 100 Bay State nonprofits that is seeking systemic change aimed at ensuring delivery of health care appropriate to all state residents, today announced that Anna Gosline has been named as its new executive director.

Since many people turn to clergy during times of serious illness, clergy must have the training and insight to be able to both encourage congregants to have these conversations with loved ones and support them when they do.

A group of healthcare organizations, professional associations, and nonprofits interested in improving treatment for patients facing serious illnesses has a new executive director. Anna Gosline will take over the role at the Massachusetts Coalition for Serious Illness Care from Richard Averbuch, who has retired.
