Become an EOLWA GEM!
Through training our volunteers acquire the knowledge to answer questions for people seeking medical aid in dying, palliative care and hospice teams.
By combining knowledge of the law and understanding of the process our volunteers are able to navigate that space while elevating the wishes of the person seeking care.
Being present for direct care through phone calls, emails and appointments our volunteers are present for hundreds of people each month.
If you are a qualifying individual seeking Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD)/Death with Dignity (DWD), OR you are seeking support for Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED), please complete our form to be assigned a Volunteer Client Advisor. One of our volunteers will reach out to you within 3-5 business days after your form is submitted. After submitting the form, you will receive an email confirming that we have your request. Please check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see it. If you need assistance completing the form, call us at 206-256-1636 during our regular business hours. We understand some requests are urgent, but it can take up to 5 days to be connected with a volunteer. Please indicate on the intake if your request is urgent. We appreciate your patience.
While you are waiting to have a volunteer assigned, we recommend that you ask your medical providers to provide a hospice referral. You should also ask your medical and hospice providers whether they will participate in Medical Aid in Dying/Death with Dignity.
