Washington State Death With Dignity Act
Initiative 1000, Washington's version of the Death With Dignity Act, became effective March 4, 2009. Information for Patients, a brochure prepared in part by the Washington State Hospital Association, can help answer your questions. Other patient education resources are available from the Washington State Department of Health and Compassion & Choices.
Swedish is committed to improving end of life care for patients, including assuring access to effective pain and symptom management, and expanding access to hospice and palliative care. Swedish also recognizes and respects patient autonomy and the right of patients to make choices related to their care at the end of life. To understand Swedish's position on Initiative 1000, you can read the full text of our Position Statement.
