Advance Directives

We want to help get the conversation started and encourage you to think about what you want—and don’t want—when the time comes for these hard decisions. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has put together a great “conversation starter kit” that we recommend, and we have copies in our office or you can access it via this website: www.theconversationproject.org. Reviewing this yourself, and then with family or close friends, can help make the conversation easier to make decisions when the time comes.
It’s not easy to talk about dying, but it is really important.
