Advance Directives workshop was held at Genesis Supportive Living Services

May 1, 2010

In observance of National Healthcare Decisions Day, April 16, 2010, an Advance Directives workshop was held at Genesis Supportive Living Services, an agency that serves the older adult community in Milwaukee. A total of 29 workshop attendees were provided step-by-step guidance in completing the 5 Wishes document, a tool that helps you express how you want to be treated if you are seriously ill and unable to speak for yourself. The workshop was facilitated by Clarene Mitchell (pictured above in the foreground), Community Liaison and Dawn Bojarski, Clinical Social Work of VITAS Innovative Hospice Care. National Healthcare Decisions Day promotes individuals putting their final wishes in writing. Advance Directives are an issue of importance for African Americans because the community is less likely to have them in place. African Americans are encouraged to complete Advance Directives so they are not powerless when it comes to end-of-life matters.
