Partner Spotlight: Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey

At Eleplan, we believe the care journey deserves clarity, dignity, and support, especially when it comes to navigating serious illness and end-of-life decisions. That’s why we’re honored to partner with the Goals of Care Coalition of New Jersey (GOCCNJ), a statewide nonprofit dedicated to improving palliative and end-of-life care through education, advocacy, and community-focused tools.

Meet GOCCNJ
GOCCNJ is an independent coalition that brings together nearly 35 organizations across New Jersey, including healthcare providers, academic institutions, and caregiver advocates. Their mission is to improve care for people with serious illness by increasing access to high-quality, person-centered services. From stakeholder collaboration to public awareness campaigns, they’re working across sectors to transform how New Jersey supports people facing the most complex care decisions.

How They Support Caregivers
GOCCNJ understands that caregivers often carry the emotional and logistical weight of medical decision-making. Through programs like the Let’s Talk Advance Care Plan and the 4Step iCare Plan, GOCCNJ provides guidance on how to discuss, decide, and document a loved one’s care preferences, helping caregivers advocate with confidence while honoring the person they’re caring for.

Their culturally inclusive resources, newsletters, blogs, and training programs empower caregivers to communicate effectively with healthcare teams and navigate serious illness with clarity.

Why This Partnership Matters
While GOCCNJ helps caregivers tackle tough conversations and long-term decisions, Eleplan complements this work by organizing the day-to-day. Our digital platform helps caregivers document routines, medication schedules, preferences, and emergency contacts, bridging the gap between advance care planning and daily care management.

Together, we’re offering families across New Jersey practical, meaningful support, so they can feel more prepared, more connected, and less alone.
