Linda Long, MD, MPH

Newly relocated to the Upper Valley in NH, Linda has enjoyed a rich and varied career with work experience in Finance, clinical and corporate Medicine, and Operations for her family’s entrepreneurial food venture. Retired now, Linda has volunteered with homeless women at Mary’s Place in Seattle teaching group programs to support their health, education and personal safety; served as Treasurer and Board Member of Friends of the Library in Bainbridge Island, Washington; taught English as a second language (ESL) to immigrants in DC with the Washington English Center; and served with the DC Medical Reserve Corps during COVID.

She believes deeply in the power and importance of life’s biggest transitions and hopes to empower people by bringing end of life planning conversations to the mainstream. She has earned a certificate in Care Management from the University of WA, earned an End of Life Doula certificate from the University of VT and certified as a program facilitator with Before I Go Solutions. Having most recently lived in states/districts where MAiD is a legal option for eligible citizens, Linda is excited to join this talented and dedicated group of advocates to help bring MAiD legislation to NH and expand the end of life options available to the strong and independent citizens of NH.

While end of life planning and education is her work interest, Linda enjoys most things physical activity (but especially running), doing just about anything with George (her husband of 38 years), her 3 “kids” (now very adult and living in NY) and her 3 favorite “grandcats”,
