DDNC Cohosts Educational Workshops
The Death with Dignity National Center is hosting educational workshops outside the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area in partnership with Compassion & Choices of Oregon to update physicians and residents on the use of the law in Oregon, the value of the law to terminally ill patients, and to help make the law more accessible to people in these areas.
We will be hosting a workshop on Wednesday, April 14th, in Corvallis, OR in the Walnut Community Room at Fire Station #5.

About Death with Dignity
The greatest human freedom is to live, and die, according to one's own desires and beliefs. From advance directives to physician-assisted dying, death with dignity is a movement to provide options for the dying to control their own end-of-life care.
Death with Dignity National Center is the leader in this movement, successfully establishing, advancing and defending the landmark Oregon and Washington Death with Dignity Acts.
Political Action Fund
The Death with Dignity National Center partners with the Oregon Death with Dignity Political Action Fund to conduct lobbying and political activities in order to achieve the enactment of Death with Dignity laws in other states.
