Agenda).

End of Life Options New Mexico (EOLONM) Chair, Barak Wolff, will make
opening comments and serve as moderator for the session. EOLONM volunteer,
Phyllis Bergman, RN/FNP will share her personal story of her two
sisters—one who struggled and ultimately could not access California’s
medical aid in dying (MAID) law and the other who had a peaceful passing as
one of New Mexico's first MAID deaths. Dr. David R. Grube, National Medical
Director of Compassion & Choices, will provide a brief overview of national
developments. NM Representative Debbie Armstrong, one of the bill's
sponsors, will review the Elizabeth Whitefield End-of-Life Options (EWEOLO)
Act with her colleagues recalling the provisions of the Act and how it is
working. And last but not least, EOLONM Legal Policy Advisor Rob Schwartz,
will highlight several legal issues of interest. Barak will conclude the
presentation with an update about how the EOLONM non-profit organization is
developing to help New Mexicans access the new law and improve all
end-of-life options. It is anticipated that there will be at least 30
minutes for questions and discussion with the LHHS Committee members.
