"Life-affirming healthcare" is defined as medical care in which the paramount principle is the sanctity of life which means that the life and safety of each person come first and each person receives medical care across their lifespan based on their need for care and never with an intention to hasten death regardless of their abilities or perceived "quality of life".

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
