As the Midwest regional campaign and outreach manager for Compassion & Choices, a national non-profit organization, Amy Sherman advocates for planning for and expanding end-of-life care options and empowering people to take charge of their own journeys. She leads a statewide coalition in Illinois, in partnership with Final Options Illinois and the ACLU of Illinois, and oversees activities in several other Midwestern states. Amy earned a law degree from Northwestern University School of Law. Over her career, she has led national and state policy initiatives and provided technical assistance to government, business and institutions. Earlier in her career, Amy managed emergency services at the University of Illinois Hospital and the emergency services house staff program at Cook County Hospital. These experiences led her to develop a passion for patient-centered and compassionate approaches to health care.
