Encouraging education, discussion …
and CHOICES®
Each of us has the right to think about and determine our end-of-life care.

Be sure that your wishes are honored. We encourage you to: Determine the end-of-life care options available. Decide for yourself what kind of care you want. Discuss your end-of-life wishes with loved ones. Document so it’s clear for all to see.
Many people find it hard to talk about these topics, but have strong opinions about how they would want to be treated. Early planning is the kindest thing you can do for yourself, your family and friends. Take the first steps today…


	Discuss & Document Your End-of-Life Wishes The are numerous resources available on the Internet to assist families in discussing and documenting their preferences regarding end-of-life care. The website of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, for example, offers information about advance directives and living wills as well as practical advice and assistance to help you talk about your preferences regarding end-of-life care. The NHPCO’s new consumer focused web site Caring Connections at www.caringinfo.org provides a wide range of free materials about end-of-life care. For information on advance care planning, call then at 1-800-658-8898, or go to: http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3278
