Adams County
Public Hospital District #2 and the Washington State Death
with Dignity Act
The recent passage of Initiative 1000,
the “Washington State Death with Dignity Act”, has raised
many questions for patients, physicians, and hospitals.
After careful consideration Adams
County Public Hospital District #2
has chosen to not participate under the Death with Dignity
Act. This means that East Adams Rural Hospital’s
physicians, employees, and independent contractors will not
assist in ending the life of a patient who has been
diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Our medical staff and other
healthcare professionals will continue to provide
compassionate, high quality care to all our patients. Our
providers will be responsive to a patient’s query
about life-ending medication with openness and honesty.
Our goal is to provide timely and helpful information that
allows patients to make informed decisions about end-of-life
care. |
