Patient Choices Vermont | Medical Aid in Dying

Patient Choices Vermont (PCV) is dedicated to educating Vermonters on Medical Aid in Dying. ​Vermont's Patient Choice at End of Life Law (Act 39), enacted in May 2013, provides terminally ill Vermont residents who are capable of making their own medical decisions, with the option to request and receive medication that they can use to bring about a peaceful death if and when they so choose.

Patient Choices Vermont (PCV), founded in 2002, is a non-profit organization dedicated to end-of-life choice.  PCV worked for more than ten years to achieve enactment of the law entitled Patient Choice at End of Life (Act 39).   PCV seeks to educate Vermonters about end-of-life options and to influence policy, regulations and practice that affect the terminally ill.  PCV's mission resonates with thousands of Vermonters because our cause recognizes the importance of freedom of choice near the end of life.
