Maine Attorney General Discusses End-of-Life Care

Steve Rowe, Maine's Attorney General, sat on a panel for a town hall meeting on end-of-life care held on October 25, 2007 at Miles Memorial Hospital in Maine. The panel included hospice administrators and a bereavement counselor, as well as physicians. In 2004, a conference was held for healthcare professionals, but this meeting was formed to learn how different communities in Maine deal with hospice and end-of-life care. The information gathered at October's meeting, along with a future meeting to be held in Portland, will be used in considering legislative initiatives for the state.
