EOLCCA’s Mission

End of Life Choices California’s mission is to provide Californians the information and support to successfully navigate their legal end-of-life options.

Presentations

Topics include Advance Care Planning; the California End of Life Option Act (EOLA); eligibility requirements for Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD); and Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)–a legal option in all 50 states. Our volunteers are very knowledgeable about both hospice and palliative care and can explain the differences between the two services.
