Baycrest is a Jewish faith-based organization and is committed to treating each individual with respect, dignity and compassion.

The following policy regarding medical assistance in dying (MAID) applies to patients of Baycrest Hospital.

Baycrest Hospital does not provide Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID).

If a Baycrest hospital patient requests MAID, we will involve the Ministry of Health’s MAID Care Coordination Service to identify external providers to assess for eligibility in the hospital. If eligibility criteria are met, we will continue to support and care for the patient until there is a transfer to an external location for the administration of MAID.
