Five Wishes
SCPH is pleased to offer no-cost educational presentations about advance care planning using the Five Wishes curriculum.
Five Wishes is a resource to help start and guide your advance care planning conversations and help you document your choices as a legal advance directive.
Advance Care Planning is making decisions in advance about medical care and treatments at the end of life, and choosing a decision-maker who will speak for you if you ever become unable to speak for yourself.
The best time to have these conversations is before a crisis. Documenting your wishes in an advance directive is an important part of the process.
Join us to learn more about advance care planning and how to give the gift of conversation to the important people in your life:
- Learn how to have advance care planning conversations with your children, your parents, or the most important people in your life
- Learn about picking the right person to speak for you when you cannot communicate for yourself due to a health crisis
- Receive a free Five Wishes document that will help guide you through all the steps and considerations, and become a legally valid advance directive when completed and signed
- Learn why updating your documents is important as life situations change
