The National Coalition on Care Coordination

N3C’s goal is to foster effective links and collaborative relationships between health care and community-based service providers in order to improve health and quality of life outcomes for populations with complex care needs as they live and age.

N3C is composed of individual members representing dozens of consumer, aging, social service, health care, family caregiver, and professional organizations from across the country. (See our list of members below.) N3C was initially convened by the American Society on Aging and the New York Academy of Medicine. Today, N3C is convened by CHaSCI.
