Living
Fully Today, Health Care Decisions for Tomorrow: Let
Your Voice Be Heard
|
|
| |
- Why is it important to talk about what we want at the
end of our lives now?
- What can we do now so that we are not a burden on our
family and loved ones?
- What is an Advance Directive and why is it important in
today’s healthcare environment?
|
|
| |
When asked about what we want around end of life care, over
80% of us share the same vision: to be free of pain, to be
at home surrounded by family and friends and to have our wishes
known and honored. Unfortunately, what we know is that because
people haven’t planned for tomorrow, over 80% of us will
die in pain, in a hospital or nursing home receiving unwanted
medical interventions. It doesn’t have to be this way!
Learn what you can do now so you are in control of your life
until the very end.
