Provide your name and city where you live.

 

Ask that Legislative Concept 52 be passed into law this Special Session so that Oregonians experiencing disability can access healthcare, use support from people they trust while they are hospitalized and have support when making end of life decisions.

 

If you have a personal story about being denied access to healthcare, denied support in the hospital or being asked to sign documents about end of life care just because you were being admitted to the hospital, please say a few sentences about that.

Express thanks to the Committee for considering this important issue!
