*This program is brought to you by the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative, as the first session of our End-of-Life Series. Stay posted for information about our August, September and October sessions of this series.
Join us for an informational session about planning for end-of-life care, including how to communicate and document your wishes and values with your healthcare team. Advance Care Planning is for everyone, not just those with a serious illness. An illness or injury can often come without warning. If you plan now, you can make sure that the medical treatment you get in the future will be the treatment you would want. We will provide an overview of Illinois’ advanced care planning documents including Living Will, Power of Attorney, Practitioner’s Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment, and more. Attendees will get early access to sign-ups for individual consultations, including guided completion of advanced directives and document sharing with healthcare providers.
What is the Chicago Area Villages Collaborative?
There are eight “Villages” in the Chicago area, all part of the International Village Movement—grassroots organizations of older adults designed to help people age and thrive in their communities. Each Village reflects its community and leadership.
We invite you to contact a Village in your area to learn more about what we do and how you can join.
