Though it’s not something we like to think about, there are scenarios in healthcare where you may become too sick to make your own decisions. This is where “advance directives” come in — a document that outlines your medical care preferences in the case that you are unable to communicate on your own behalf.
Dana Pieretti, MS, CRNP, ACHPN, Nurse Practitioner, and Monica Kolb, MA, BCC, CT, Staff Chaplain, will hand out information on preparing an advance directive, such as a living will and power of attorney, and will be available to answer questions you may have about advance directives.
