Healthcare Improvement & Accountability Project

Ensuring fully-informed, patient-directed care is the prevailing practice in end-of-life medicine and healthcare

  • Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic: Advocating before the U.S. Supreme Court case that people have a private right to choose their healthcare provider under the program's free-choice-of-provider provision, with implications for patient autonomy and access to care.

  • Oregon Association of Hospital and Health Systems v. Oregon: Defended the constitutionality of Oregon’s Health Care Market Oversight program, which regulates large healthcare mergers to protect access to end-of-life, reproductive, and rural care, as well as to promote affordability and equity.

  • Cross v. Montana: ​​Successfully challenged Montana's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, with the court ruling the law unconstitutional under the state's privacy protections, thereby safeguarding families' rights to make personal medical decisions.

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.
