ACCA care navigators provide AICP services to all community members free of charge, regardless of race, ethnicity or religious affiliation. ACCA care navigators address participant needs, provide trusted resources, and empower persons needing advanced illness care and their caregivers in 5 cornerstones: spiritual, health, advance care planning, social, and caregiving.
