In 2016 when Act 39 was attacked by a lawsuit brought by the Christian Medical and Dental Society, Patient Choices Vermont was here to defend your rights. Today, amid the turmoil and disruption in the national and world news, and yes, the outright attacks on medical aid in dying and other rights of bodily autonomy, PCV is here boldly standing for the right to retain a measure of control toward the end of life.This is the choice we have established; this is the choice we defend; this is the choice we work to enable and streamline. For me. For you. For your family and loved ones. For now. Forever. |
Patient Choices Vermont Board Member Dr. Diana Barnard launched the year with a presentation to more than 100 participants as part of Dartmouth Health’s medical education program, Palliative Care ECHO 4.0: Improving Care for Those with Serious Illness. Palliative care clinicians play a vital role in managing complex symptoms, collaborating with patients and families to establish care aligned with the individual's goals, and enhancing the quality of life for those facing serious illnesses. In her presentation, Dr. Barnard underscored the critical importance of informing all medical professionals about the option of medical aid in dying and equipping them with the conversational tools necessary to honor patient values. |
On behalf of the Patient Choices Vermont (PCV) Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that we have appointed Amy Bruce as PCV's new Executive Director.
The PCV Board has been planning this transition for the past year in light of the dramatic growth in demand for PCV's services. The volume, breadth, and nuances of our work clearly require this important step as we work to ensure the availability of end-of-life choice for the long-term.
