There is still a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about Maine's expanded end-of-life care option. Many providers and patients in Maine are still not familiar with Maine's Death with Dignity Act. In effect since September 2019, the law permits physicians to practice medical aid-in-dying under specific circumstances. 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 qualify.
Val Lovelace founded the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization Maine Death with Dignity and also serves as its executive director. She spearheaded a grassroots campaign from 2014 to 2019 to pass Maine's aid-in-dying statute, the Maine Death with Dignity Act, which decriminalized medical aid in dying. She is committed to providing fact-based information regarding medical aid in dying in the United States to patients and their families, healthcare providers, clergy, policymakers, funeral directors, and emergency response personnel.
