Testimony: Advocating for Informed Consent in Massachusetts Healthcare (Bills H.2000 and S.1236)

Описание: Watch this compelling testimony on Massachusetts Bills H.2000 and S.1236, two crucial pieces of legislation aimed at requiring informed consent at the point of prescription within the state of Massachusetts. These bills are collectively titled "An Act relative to benzodiazepines and non-benzodiazepine hypnotics."

During the October 2, 2023, testimony, members of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition Medical Advisory Board, including Dr. Michael Bohan, Nicole Lamberson, PA, and Sonja Styblo, LMSW, presented their expert insights. They were joined by other patients and professionals who shared their perspectives on this important issue.

We thank the bill's sponsors, supporters, and the Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use, and Recovery for hearing this testimony!
