I am one of those mainly anonymous people who make the work of Patient Choices Vermont possible. Like you, I know how much better I feel knowing that medical aid in dying (MAID) is available to me and my loved ones. Like many of you, I regularly donate money to PCV to help ensure that this right remains legally available and, as importantly, becomes available in practice to more and more people as time goes on.
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.

We knit together networks of healthcare professionals, we untangle complexities so that people facing end-of-life decisions can find a path forward, and we seek peaceful endings for those we support.
