Mission Statement
WHAT IS GETTING THE MOST OUT OF LIFE (GMOL)? GMOL is an Alameda County Health Care Services Agency (HCSA) Program designed to increase education and utilization of advance care planning and hospice services in Alameda County. We aim to reduce suffering, by honoring the wishes of patients who are seriously ill, and to reduce health care costs by minimizing repeat emergency room visits and extended hospital stays. Most importantly, we work to create supportive environments that encourage people to consider, communicate and document their health care wishes, long before a medical crisis occurs.
