Upcoming events
Get It Done SB! and Sansum Clinic, now part of Sutter Health, are hosting an Advance Care Planning Workshop.
What is Advance Healthcare Planning?
It is an important legal form that helps your medical team and loved ones know and respect your health care decisions in the event you have a medical emergency or are seriously ill and cannot speak for yourself.
Who can attend the workshop?
Any adult over 18 years of age. We invite you to extend the invitation to the person who you think may be your representative in health care matters.
Some of the topics we will cover in this workshop include:
Why is advance health care planning important?
Who can be your representative in health care matters and what is their role?
Options and explanation of life-prolonging treatments: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilator, feeding tube, and dialysis machine
One-on-one help from experts who can answer any additional questions you have and who will help you complete the form in its entirety
The workshop consists of two important parts split between two different days. Part 1, held on the first date, is dedicated to learning more about the document, its various sections, and having the conversation about Advance Care Planning. Part 2, held on the second date, is meant to be a working session to help people complete the document and have it legalized by a free notary. It is recommended that first-time attendees attend BOTH sessions of the workshop, but it is not required.
Only need a notary? Attend Part 2 of any workshop!
