Success! And More Work Ahead!

5/19/2023

 

Please help us stay ahead of the curve. Donate today.

​On May 2nd, as a result of PCV's research, education and advocacy, the State of Vermont removed the residency requirement from our medical aid in dying law.

This landmark change is a huge step forward for compassion and end-of-life choice. Now, any patient who meets the requirements listed in Act 39 can come to Vermont to apply for this important option.
As we mark the 10th anniversary of the passage of Act 39, this far-reaching change also presents increasing challenges for PCV in our vital role as the key resource in Vermont for medical aid in dying information. Our small staff and dedicated team of volunteers is already receiving a greatly increased volume of calls, questions, and requests for professional updates and training from both in-state and out-of-state. We are ready to step up and meet this demand, but we do need your help to do it.
Please click to support this vital work.
Please consider a donation of $30, $60 or, if you are able, $200, $500, or $1,000. 
If you prefer, you can mail a check to:

Together, we will:
  • Expand our community of medical providers who support both in-state and out-of-state residents seeking more autonomy at the end of life.
  • Promote best practices with tools and resources to assist patients, families and medical providers with end-of-life care and decision-making.
  • Advise an ever-increasing number of people who call PCV as they face end-of-life decisions.
  • Advocate to medical schools for the inclusion of medical aid in dying training in the curricula. In the long term, this advocacy will benefit patients everywhere.
Donate! Your support matters!
I ask that you think about what end-of-life choice means to you and consider making PCV one of your priority contributions. End of life is a deeply sensitive and personal time, one in which we all wish for peace, freedom, and connection. Your contribution really makes a difference.

With appreciation,
Betsy J. Walkerman, Esq., President
