Santa Fe Doorways
Thursday, March 11, 2021 -11:45 – 1 pm
Online Zoom Meeting (link below)
Advocacy to Implementation:
Medical Aid in Dying Authorized in NM
Presenter: Barak Wolff, MPH, End of Life Options NM
Barak Wolff is a Doorways “regular” who had a long and varied career with the NM Department of Health as a public health administrator and leader. He is now “mostly retired,” although he continues to serve as an analyst for the NM Senate when they are in full session. Over the last nine years Barak has gotten deeply involved in end of life issues and was a founding member of the NM End of Life Options Coalition. Now Barak will serve on the initial board of a new non-profit that is being created called End of Life Options NM to help implement the new law and support other choices so that more folks can have the kind of death they seek...whatever that may be.
The Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options Act was passed by the NM Legislature and signed into law on April 8th by Governor Grisham. It will go into effect on June 18th. After four years in the courts and then five years in the legislature, we now have the opportunity to assist the implementation of the new law by providing public information and education, health professional training, and working with health care agencies and institutions to develop their policies. There's a lot of work ahead and we will build upon the experiences of the nine other states that have preceded NM.
This presentation will briefly review the 2021 legislative success for HB 47 and then provide an overview of the law itself. Our objective was to try to ensure reasonable access to medical aid in dying and by all accounts our law is the most progressive in the country. We have the shortest waiting periods by far, our prescribers can include mid-level providers, we recognize enrollment in hospice as evidence of a terminal diagnosis and we have strong right to know and strong conscience clauses. There will be at least 30 minutes for questions and discussion about this important addition to our end of life options.
