Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID)

Please refer to Ontario Health atHome for the most up-to-date information on Medical Assistance in Dying: https://ontariohealthathome.ca/home-care/palliative-care/maid/ 

Patients should speak with their primary care provider for options about care and treatment, which may include MAID, palliative care, or other end-of-life options.  

Ontario has an established care coordination service to assist patients, family members, caregivers, friends and clinicians who are looking for information and access to support for MAID and other end-of-life options.  

The care coordination service information line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 811. Referral services are available Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST in English and French (translations for other languages can also be requested). TTY services are also available at 1-844-953-3350.
