Support for Hospice Clinical Staff

The Academy proudly recognizes that frontline staff provide essential care to patient considering or completing medical aid in dying.

Coordinated aid-in-dying hospice care is about more than the prescription—it’s about compassionate, patient-centered care rooted in hospice values.
With over 90% of those choosing medical aid in dying in hospice at the time of their death, every hospice, in states where it is legal, will care for this population, knowingly or not. Training interdisciplinary teams to care skillfully for these patients enhances quality, staff confidence, and retention, while alleviating moral distress. Marketable and compliant, excellent aid-in-dying care honors what matters most to patients—autonomy, dignity, and compassion—positioning your hospice as a trusted leader in person-centered end-of-life care.
