Coalition Partners
Beginnings
In September 2000,
community leaders met to discuss people’s unmet needs at the end of life.
This group recognized the need for an independent, collaborative, and
creative forum to address end-of-life care in Durham, Orange, and Chatham
counties. Under the leadership of
Mary Meyer, these organizers launched Project
Compassion.
