Zoom presentation on End-of-Life Options and California’s End-of-Life Option Act

Henry Balson, a volunteer with End of Life Choices California will provide a brief overview of the organization’s activities to raise awareness about choices we have at the end of life.  He will review the legal end-of-life options in California, including discontinuing or declining medical treatments, voluntarily stopping eating and drinking (VSED), and Medical Aid in Dying (MAID). The discussion will include information about who is eligible for MAID, recent changes to the law, the process to obtain a prescription for aid-in-dying medication, estimated costs, discussing your wishes with loved ones and medical providers.  There will be ample time for questions and discussion at the end of the presentation. 

Private presentation for members of San Francisco Village
