POLST & Advance Health Care Directives
The MS Achievement Center presents an opportunity to learn about Advance Health Care Directives from an Elder Care Management of Northern California representative. Elder Care Management of Northern California provides community education and care management services. In their practice as Care Managers, one of the first questions they ask clients is: Do you have an Advance Health Care Directive? No one likes to think about circumstances that may render us unable to make medical decisions ourselves, nor do we necessarily enjoy talking about end of life wishes with our loved ones. Advance planning is the best way to we can ensure our wishes are honored and alleviate the worry of others acting on our behalf. The presentation will provide up-to-date information on options for making your wishes known, including POLST (Physician Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment), which is becoming the standard in healthcare and community settings.
