WHAT I'M WORKING ON
Aid In Dying for NYS
Since 2015, I have been actively involved with Compassion and Choices, a national organization that works to improve patient rights and improve end-of-life choices. My goal is to stress the importance of terminally ill individuals being afforded all end-of-life options, including Aid in Dying. Current Aid in Dying laws have led to improvement in the quality of hospice, which benefits everyone.
