Koala and Cathy, experienced ICU nurses, discuss in frank terms the meaning of "advanced medical interventions." Actual patient outcomes are explained. Some equipment used will be available for viewing. This is an interactive session, allowing for questions and dialogue. The nurses present in layperson's terms the realities of what these "interventions" mean to average people and their families. Advance care planning, completing advance directives, and the importance of community-based palliative care are discussed. 
I have transferred this information from the main page to the "Community Events" page also. Thank you, Micki, for helping with this website! :-)
ReplyDeleteJan, how about encouraging all of the WAHA facilitators to spread the word about this blog? Otherwise, we are just talking to each other...let's build awareness in every way we can.
ReplyDeleteThis presentation is fantastic. It is just what a person needs to inform them prior to documenting their wishes. Even if a person has already completed his/her advance directive, seeing this easy-to-understand talk, may result in making some changes to their AD.
ReplyDeleteSee it!
