Carol Boerner is a retired physician and advocate for the importance of advance care planning and improving end-of-life care.
“People don’t know they have choices about their end-of-life care. Compassion & Choices gives them the information they need to know their options and make that decision.”

Robert Webb

Suffering from lung cancer, Robert Webb’s father wanted the option of medical aid in dying so that he could die comfortably at home.
“My father endured months of pain and had no option but to die in a hospital, not at home like he wanted. If medical aid in dying had been available in Nevada, things could have been different.”
