Protect terminally ill patients!
A proposed DEA rule would ban providers from prescribing meds via telehealth if they haven’t conducted an in-person exam. Submit a comment by 3/31 to request an exemption for terminal and seriously ill patients. candc.link/dearule
So many wonderful things ahead, @MWiafe1. Don't fear the future and enjoy the journey! :)

Fay Hoh Yin was diagnosed with incurable T-cell lymphoma in 2014 & sadly passed in 2020. She believed terminally ill patients should have control of their care when the pain becomes unbearable, & advocated to give others the choices that she did not have. bit.ly/3PQyrab

The decision gave her profound peace.
“My life, my body, my death,” she said. “It’s just my time.”

Brittany Maynard accessed medical aid in dying nearly 7 years ago to the day and sparked an international conversation about the importance of end-of-life options.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, our most vulnerable communities are the hardest hit. Legislation like SB 380 uplifts Californians by providing improvements to the End of Life Option Act, taking effect January 2022.
Los esfuerzos de personajes Latinos, como el de Dolores Huerta, destaca el amplio apoyo que se obtuvo de la comunidad Latina, para que se aprobara la medida SB 380.
Thank you @aBeautifulDying and host Michele Little for the opportunity to participate in a very important conversation about end of life options, and to our wonderful volunteers, Dr. Mitsuo Tomita and Lisa Klinger, for joining!
