COMPASSION AND CHOICES

MISSION STATEMENT

Compassion & Choices, a nonprofit organization, is the largest and most comprehensive end-of-life advocacy organization in the United States. The Laguna Woods Village Community Group is part of the national organization which has over 60 chapters and 30,000 members. We help patients and their loved ones face the end of life with calm facts and choices of action during a difficult time. We also aggressively pursue legal reform to promote pain care, put teeth in advance directives and legalize physician aid in dying.

Our mission is built upon three main pillars of service: client services, legislative advocacy and education. Compassion & Choices is committed to providing accurate information on end-of-life issues to the general public, to health care and legal professionals, to lawmakers, and to the media.

Our vision is a society where everyone receives state-of-the-art care at the end of life, and a full range of choices for dying in comfort, dignity and control.
