The Impact of Family Values on Healthcare Decisions

If you become unable to make decisions about your medical treatment, who will speak for you? Who knows your values and wishes regarding care? What is right for someone else—based on culture, values, religion and many other factors—may not be right for you.

Meg McClaskey, ethics consultant and manager of Spiritual Care Services at Northwest Community Hospital, will offer an interactive program addressing family values and religious beliefs and their influence on healthcare decision-making.

Professionals who are trained in facilitating advance care planning conversations will be available after the presentation if you would like to learn more about completing advance directives.
