We are available to help arrange interviews with medical, legal, public health, and end-of-life care experts, as well as our staff and officers.
We are also willing to help arrange interviews with patients and their family members if media representatives will respect the limits the patient or family sets regarding their privacy.
All media interviews will be scheduled and arranged through Compassion & Choices' media relations director to minimize intrusion on the family and to ensure professional public relations support.
