Making Choices Known - Five Wishes® Advance Care Planning
If you are ever in a medical situation but unable to communicate, someone should know your wishes about who may speak for you, about your medical treatment, your desired emotional assistance, and possibly end of life choices. This is not DNR-you do that with your doctor. This is your care and treatment only if you are unable to communicate yourself.
Each participant will receive a Five Wishes® booklet to take home, offering guidance as you reflect on your values and wishes. This process empowers you to ensure your voice is heard and your choices are respected-even if you are unable to communicate them yourself.
