This new resource for advance directives helps you
consider your preferences for medical treatments prior to a serious illness or
injury and to express your wishes for your health care treatment in an advance
directive in case you are unable to communicate your wishes on your
own.
The new publication is
part of a series of resources from CHA that also includes the updated and
refreshed palliative and hospice care publication, “Living Well with Serious
Illness.”
Both publications are
available as downloadable PDFs and as hard copies in English and Spanish.
Created in collaboration
with physicians, nurses, theologians and ethicists within Catholic health care,
the resources are designed to help people of all ages, backgrounds, religious
traditions and beliefs make important decisions about serious illness and
end-of-life care.
