“I researched accompanied dying, and I was aware Vermont had passed a law to include even out-of-state residents, the first in the nation,” said Sarah.

Enter United Spinal’s Community Support and Advocacy programs.

They also help people cope with the onset of brain and spinal cord injury or disease and numerous other disability-related requests.
