On Thursday, March 10, join Compassion & Choices President Emerita and Senior Advisor Barbara Coombs Lee for a special presentation for Midwest supporters on the past, present and future of the movement to expand and protect end-of-life options.
WHAT: Barbara Coombs Lee: The Past, Present and What You Can Do for the Future of Medical Aid in Dying
WHEN: Thursday, March 10, 4:30 p.m.–6:00 p.m. CT
WHERE: Online or by phone, wherever you are!
Before her career in law and health policy, Barbara had a 25-year career as a nurse and physician assistant, during which she often cared for terminally ill patients. As an emergency room and intensive care nurse, she was often obligated to perform painful and pointless interventions on dying patients. Those unforgettable experiences prompted her professional devotion to individual choice and empowerment in healthcare.
Barbara has been interviewed by leading national media outlets. She has testified before Congress. She has spoken in hundreds of venues over the past twenty-five years. She is a seasoned traveler and tireless firebrand.
Join Barbara for this special event exclusively for Midwest supporters.
We’ll look back at the start of the national movement for end-of-life options, discuss where we stand nationally in our campaigns to authorize medical aid in dying in 2022, and look ahead to how we’ll work together to bring this compassionate care option to the Midwest.
