Colorado’s End-of-Life Options Act permits terminally ill adults to request and receive prescription medication for the purpose of ending life in a peaceful manner. A patient requesting prescription medication pursuant to the Act must meet strict requirements and follow a process mandated by the Act. Yuma District Hospital and Clinics gives its providers the choice of whether to participate in certain activities authorized by the Act, provided certain conditions specific to Yuma District Hospital and Clinics are met. If a patient has questions about the Act or Yuma District Hospital and Clinics’ position regarding the Act, the patient can ask his or her treating physician or otherwise ask for a referral to Yuma District Hospital and Clinics’ Ethics Committee.
