Flanders Clinic, located in Portland, OR, is home to the Physicians for Compassionate Care Education Foundation (PCCEF). The clinic is an association of physicians and health care professionals committed to upholding the traditional healing relationship between caregivers and patients. Their primary focus is on providing comfort, easing pain, and supporting those facing end-of-life care, while educating against euthanasia and assisted suicide. PCCEF members, consisting of various medical specialties, advocate for the value of human life and oppose practices that compromise patient trust or alter the role of healthcare professionals from healers to facilitators of death. Through educational materials and resources, the foundation aims to raise awareness about the ethical dilemmas associated with assisted suicide and euthanasia, emphasizing the importance of quality end-of-life care.
