Maine Death with Dignity, formerly known in Maine as It’s My Death, is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to equitable access to holistic end-of-life support, advocacy, and fact-based education for people who call Maine home. The organization works to help patients, healthcare providers, and policymakers understand and implement the Maine Death with Dignity Act, signed into law in 2019. Its approach recognizes that end-of-life priorities differ: people may choose life-prolonging treatment, comfort-focused care, or seek the option of a prescription to control the timing and manner of death.

Maine Death with Dignity offers information about state law, patient and provider guidance, frequently asked questions, fact sheets, and end-of-life resources. It also arranges community discussions and staff trainings, shares stories and updates, and advocates for access to informed decision-making and desired care. The organization emphasizes that medical aid in dying is one part of a broader continuum of palliative care and can be compatible with hospice.
