Community Conversation: Advance Care Planning - Next Steps?

The Northwest Life Passages Coalition hosts community conversations related to care for those with serious illness or facing end of life.  These conversations give the Coalition a chance to both share information and learn from community members as we seek to build stronger programs.

At this session, we will briefly share the current status of Advance Care Planning programs in Whatcom County based on the results from a recent evaluation project which explores current successes and challenges in these initiatives. We will also outline some new initiatives and promising models for improving these programs.

We plan to spend the bulk of the session exploring your ideas and concerns so that we can continue to make progress toward our goal of creating a community of care that supports our own choices for end-of-life care.
