Let's Fill Out Your Advance Directive!
Join us to fill out your Advance Care Directive with Eriko Onishi MD, from Oregon Health Sciences University.
Have you heard about Advance Care Planning (ACP)?
It's a process that helps you to prepare in advance for your future medical needs, such as when you are very hurt, or very sick, or very old, or any other time that you aren't able to fully communicate what you want or need.
Preparing for these situations beforehand with an Advance Care Directive can provide you with some control over how you will be treated and cared for. It is also an invaluable gift to your loved ones, who will not have to make these important decisions for you.
We'll explore both the Oregon Advance Directive and Oregon POLST (Portable Order for Life Sustaining Treatment). It's never too early or too late to start your Advance Care Planning!
Admission is free and no sign-up is necessary.
