The program was very informational and helpful. It really gets you thinking of how you would like to have your wishes honored at a time of need/end of life. It helped to start and bridge that conversation about death and dying that individuals dread.
Throughout our three-county service area there are certified facilitators who are available to educate, and facilitate discussions and guidance to individuals and families who wish to develop an advance care plan, complete advance directives and designate a health care representative.
