Advance Care Planning: The Gift of Five Wishes

Who will speak for you if you can’t speak for yourself? Five Wishes is one of the most widely used Advanced Care Planning documents in the United States. Advanced Care Planning is for everyone, from older folk and those living with illness, to younger adults and families. It provides the assurance that your wishes will be known and is one of the first living wills that addresses your personal, emotional, and spiritual needs as well as your medical wishes. There will be 2 opportunities this month to attend this event held at the Natrona County Library. On either October 8th at 2 PM or October 19th at 6 PM, representatives from Central Wyoming Hospice and Transitions will introduce you to Five Wishes, lead you through the document and its importance, and answer your questions. Each participant will be given a copy of Five Wishes to take home. Call 577-7323 or visit the Library's website for more information.
