Medical Assistance in Dying

If you or a loved one is contemplating Medical Assistance in Dying, compassionate and professional support is available for you.

Care Coordination Services

Patients have access to a single point of contact for all end of life options, including Medical Assistance in Dying, through a team called Care Coordination Services.

These teams will also connect a patient to the health care provider who can best meet their unique needs so that further, in depth, discussions can happen. Choices may vary from patient to patient and we acknowledge that there is no right or wrong choice.
