Description
End-of-life options in New Mexico include a wide range of choices now, from continuing with a variety of treatments to a conscious decision to find a peaceful death, including medical aid in dying. This presentation discusses all of these with an emphasis on important aspects of the Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options Act, passed in the 2021 NM legislative session.
Jan Wilson has volunteered with Compassion & Choices for ten years, making presentations about advanced healthcare planning and directives. Since the passage of the Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options Act, she has co-chaired the Public Outreach and Education Committee of the newly formed End-of-Life Options NM organization.
