Clear, fact-based education about Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada.
We’re Paul and Kim, Registered Nurses based in British Columbia with nearly twenty years of combined experience in palliative care and more than eight years each working directly with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
We provide clear, fact-based information about MAiD in Canada while respectfully challenging misinformation when it appears. Our goal is to help people better understand this important health care option and the realities of end-of-life care.
All of our educational work is freely available because access to accurate information about MAiD should never be a barrier. For those who are able, we welcome support to help us continue this work.
