Mark Ustin Speaking at the NYSBA Health Law Section Fall Meeting 2024

Mark Ustin will be moderating panel “Re-envisioning the Palliative and End-of-Life Care Continuum, and Medical Aid in Dying” at the New York State Bar Association Health Law Section Fall Meeting 2024.

This panel will examine New York’s Medical Aid in Dying Bill in the broader contexts of the existing palliative and end-of-life care continuum in New York and evidence of persistent inequities in access to care. Panelists will discuss the work of the New York State Bar Association Medical Aid in Dying Task Force in addressing the range of medical, spiritual, health and public health policy, and ethics issues related to end-of-life care, including the proposed legislation. The panel will address the financing of care, design of workforce education and training, advancing the goals of equity across diverse populations and communities, expected regulatory trends, and counseling providers on navigating complex care environments.
