SUMMARY:NCAAWA Women's Conference: "The Elephant in the Room" Advance Care Planning
DESCRIPTION:2023 North County African American Women’s Association Women’s Conference\, Sisters Soaring!\nMany of us realize that we should plan ahead to address possible health care crises or other events\, but for various reasons\, we put it off.  Like the proverbial “elephant in the room\,” we just pretend it’s not there. \nIf you or someone you love falls into this category\, plan to attend this hour-long workshop with Lynne Calkins\, a Founding Director of End of Life Choices California (EOLCCA). Are You Good To Go? End-of-Life Planning Made Easy. Thinking about this topic can be really scary; this will be a safe\, fascinating and interactive workshop. You’ll discover the importance of opening up conversations with your spouse\, partner\, parents\, grandparents or your adult children about the value and gift of advance planning for end of life. All end-of-life choices available in California\, including medical aid in dying will be explored.

SUMMARY:2023 National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying
DESCRIPTION:Revolution Hall\, Portland\, OR  February 17-18\, 2003\n \nThe American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying and Death with Dignity are thrilled to announce the jointly-facilitated 2023 National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying — February 17-18 in Portland\, Oregon\, at the wonderful Revolution Hall. (Usually reserved for rock concerts\, but aren’t aid-in-dying clinicians rock stars?) \nThe incentive for the first\, 2020\, National Clinicians Conference on Medical Aid in Dying\, originated from the pressing need for clinical discussions\, explorations and evidence-based knowledge about aid in dying. With 10 states and Washington DC providing for the option of legally assisted deaths\, some 22% of the U.S. population has gained access to medical aid in dying. It has become a significant end-of-life option. This has driven the need for increased evidence-based knowledge and clinical care — provided for the first time at the 2020 conference\, now to be continued and updated at the 2023 two-day event. \nThere’s a lot we learned from the first conference in 2020. Clinicians were hungry for information about the direct care of patients considering medical aid in dying\, and the conference more than fulfilled that hunger. Even more significant was the deeply emotional camaraderie between some 300 aid-in-dying clinicians gathered for the first time in one place at one time. We’d become so used to working in relative isolation in our medical communities that joining a crowd of deeply caring and committed colleagues literally brought some to tears. And the second day of the conference marked the birth of the Academy\, to continue the work. \nThe American Clinicians Academy on Medical Aid in Dying and Death with Dignity are now pleased to co-facilitate NCCMAID 2023.
