If you or someone you love is struggling to get the care you want and deserve, we are here to help. Call us today, or use our legal intake form.
Note: We are not a general legal services provider. We focus on legal issues specifically related to end-of-life care and patient autonomy.
Our experienced team of litigators work closely with our pro bono counsel to enforce and expand 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. In every case we are involved in, Compassion & Choices’ dedicated legal team prioritizes and seeks to advance patient-directed care.
We’re ensuring that fully-informed patients are the decision makers in their own end of life care; that your decisions and plans are implemented.
We’re protecting and expanding access to existing end of life options and rights. (VSED, treatment withdrawal, pain management).
We’re ensuring fully-informed, patient-directed care is the prevailing practice of end-of-life medicine and healthcare and that you have access to all end-of-life care and options through your health systems and care providers.
Through the collective impact of dedicated advocates, medical professionals, and legislative champions who have been on the ground advocating for this option since the beginning, SB 403 swiftly moved through the Senate in June and the Assembly Health and Judiciary Committees in July.
Many Americans may not fully grasp how these funding cuts will affect them, partly because Medicaid programs operate under different names across states. The consequences, however, will be felt nationwide and are staggering in scope.
Compassion & Choices is promoting increased awareness and use among emergency medicine professionals of patients’ advance directives, POLST forms and living wills.
