Even though it’s been more than a year since the Act took effect, many people have questions about it.
Drs. Jean Abbott and Ben Keidan will provide answers to common questions about the Colorado End-of-Life Options Act, including the evolution of the law, common beliefs and concerns about it and specific requirements for patients, medical facilities and health care providers.
