Consolidated 2011 Annual Report
The staff of the Death with Dignity National Center and the Death with Dignity Political Action Fund are dedicated to working on your behalf to improve and expand end-of-life care options until we all enjoy the freedom to decide how we want to live our final days. This past year has been full of activity and excitement toward that goal! Through our partnerships with Patient Choices Vermont and Dignity 2012 in Massachusetts, we've been working diligently to fulfill our mission to promote Death with Dignity laws.
We're very excited about the work these two groups are doing and about the prospect of 2012 being a banner year for the Death with Dignity movement. Given the positive momentum in each state, 2012 promises to be just that.

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.

Patients & Families
The Death with Dignity National Center was formed out of a profound commitment to the idea that personal end-of-life decisions should be made solely between a patient and a physician. We are pleased to provide you with support and information as you face the difficult challenges ahead.
