Finding Peace & Care
At The End of Life

End of Life Choices and The Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine Partner to Implement Medical Aid in Dying

With the fast approaching implementation of Medical Aid in Dying in NY, EOLCNY and The Academy have partnered to provide public education, training on evidence-based best practices in aid-in-dying clinical care, as well as resources and referrals for patients and families looking for medical support. This partnership allows clinicians access to information about pharmacology, families assistance with decision-making, volunteers training to provide bedside support and system-wide consultation on policy and ethics.

When a terminally ill patient is considering or completing aid in dying, they deserve the best care possible. If, after thorough discussions about all options and goals of care, and in conjunction with continued palliative care as their illness evolves, a patient wishes to proceed – we ensure that they have access to clinicians that are skilled in the medical and psychosocial details of aid in dying.
