    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.
