Our Advocacy Work

End of Life Choices New York pursues legal and legislative reform to ensure a patient’s right to quality care and a peaceful death.

At End of Life Choices New York, we are working to expand and enforce patient rights and options, including improved pain management, advance directive options, and disciplinary action for physicians who fail to honor the health care decisions or wishes of patients at the end of life. We have successfully advocated for several laws that have improved the quality of life and death for terminally ill New Yorkers, including medical aid in dying.

Death doesn’t have to mean suffering. In the event of a terminal illness, if the course is prolonged or agonized, we each should have the right to choose the time and manner of our death. We assist people throughout New York State. Our services are free to individuals and families. Please contact us if we can help in any way.
