ABOUT THIS SITE

USMAiD.org is a public‑health education project focused on improving national understanding of Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD) in the United States.

Medical Aid in Dying is not a well‑understood concept. USMAiD.org provides clear, factual information about how MAiD works in the United States, the laws that govern it, and the terminology used to describe it.

A central goal of USMAiD.org is to help build a national identity for MAiD in the United States. As awareness of Medical Aid in Dying grows, clear language, accessible information, and a shared understanding of MAiD become increasingly important. The project’s mission is to make MAiD easier to understand, easier to navigate, and easier to discuss.

USMAiD.org serves as an educational resource for journalists, policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, patients, families, and members of the public. The site brings together educational content, resources, and information designed to support clarity, accessibility, and informed public understanding.
