MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying)
February 16 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Vermont’s Patient Choice at End of Life Law (Act 39) was enacted in 2013. Act 39 enables people who are terminally ill and capable of making their own medical decisions to request and access medication (MAID) that they can use to bring about a peaceful death if they so choose. We’ll talk about:
* How Medical Aid in Dying works- who qualifies for it and how to start the process of accessing it
* Act 39- what’s required under Vermont law
* Conversations- how to talk with your doctor and other medical personnel about your wishes and your plans
Our presentations provide opportunities to ask questions, learn, and share stories. They are life affirming and empowering, and designed to help everyone who attends one to become better informed on these important topics. Everyone is welcome!
