UNPRECEDENTED PROGRESS: UNPRECEDENTED THREATS

2016 – 2017 Annual Report Board of Directors Letter From the President

Nancy Hoyt Samantha Sandler N. Cook Jaren Ducker It was another landmark year for Compassion & Choices and our mission to improve care Chair Vice Chair Secretary Treasurer and expand options for people at life’s end. With this report comes our respect and gratitude to steadfast and generous supporters like you.

We passed medical aid-in-dying laws in Colorado and Washington, D.C.; expanded the ranks of providers and medical associations supporting our goals; persuaded major healthcare systems to make medical aid in dying accessible; and launched our ground- breaking Truth in Treatment™ patient-empowerment initiative.

These successes produced more than just greater visibility and acceptance for patient choices. They heightened awareness of the profound risks of passive acceptance: defer- Betsy Van Dorn Nan Dale Debbi Gibbs Steve Hut Development Chair and ring without question to doctors’ recommendations, whether or not a treatment reflects Executive Committee our values, priorities or even true informed consent. Member at Large Compassion & Choices’ gains put medical aid in dying in a far stronger position than a generation ago. Yet in dozens of states where the full range of end-of-life options have yet to be authorized, millions of people still face systemic hurdles to their own empowerment: a yawning information and power gap between doctors and patients, physicians who reflexively apply what they judge best for every individual, patients denied the information and autonomy to choose a treatment path preserving their most cherished wishes.

Claire Jacobus Sharon Shaffer Jerri Shaw Barbara Coombs Lee We’re confident these hurdles will fall, but not without continued vigorous effort. We PA, FNP, JD, President, face zealous opposition, of course. And a dramatically altered political environment has ex officio unleashed serious threats to our gains. But the sleeping giant of self-determination has awakened for good. The same community of supporters, volunteers, constituents and donors who made our 2017 successes possible will sustain an unstoppable momentum. I’m sure of it.

With great thanks and resolve,

People should have access to a full range of healthcare options for life’s end, including peacefully ending unbearable suffering. We are committed to achieving this through advocacy, education and empowerment to ensure that every American can die in accordance with their own values and priorities.

The congressional, legal and local legislative experience of its talented staff has helped us mount a successful campaign to defend the medical aid-in-dying law “passed by the District of Columbia Council.” A dramatically shifted political environment in 2017 has put decades of hard-won progress toward patient autonomy at life’s end in – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D.C.) jeopardy.
