Five Wishes is a document used by people in over 40 states to tell about their wishes on end-of-life care. The pages put medical decisions into clear, understandable words. They help families and friends talk honestly about hard choices. Five Wishes includes decisions about:
-
The person I want to make care decisions for me when I can't
- The kind of medical treatment I want or don't want
- How comfortable I want to be
- How I want people to treat me
- What I want my loved ones to know
You can get a copy of Five Wishes mailed to you by contacting the Department of Pastoral Care at 828-213-1080. Outside regular business hours, you may reach the on-call chaplain by dialing 828-213-1111 and asking to speak with the "Chaplain of the Day."
