There is still a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about Maine's compassionate end-of-life care option.

Know the facts and, if qualified, the right to access medical aid in dying if they choose. Join this class to get fact-based information and all the details you need to know about Maine's law, how to have the conversation with your physician, and how to qualify for the law or support your loved one who may be qualifying. (No materials/supplies required).

Valerie Lovelace is the founder and executive director of Maine Death with Dignity, a 501©(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is end-of-life education and patient advocacy.
