Compassion & Choices is committed to enforcing and expanding the rights of terminally ill people. Through our work in the courts, we fight to ensure that everyone can receive high-quality end-of-life care that is in line with their values, wishes and beliefs. We have been at the forefront of end-of-life care legal issues.

In every case it is involved in, Compassion & Choices’ legal team prioritizes and seeks to advance patient-directed care.
