Compassion & Choices President to Speak in San Francisco

Barbara Coombs Lee is an expert in the field of end-of-life choice and a very engaging speaker. She practiced as a nurse and physician assistant for 25 years before beginning a career in law and health policy. Barbara has been president of Compassion & Choices since 1996.
