Wishes Booklet
an "advance directive"
The
Five Wishes booklet is an easy-to-use legal document that lets you
plan in advance for how you want to be cared for in the event that
you become seriously ill.

an "advance directive" because when you complete Five Wishes
you give direction to your physician and family, in advance, on how
you want to be treated.
The
booklet deals with all of a person's needs: medical, personal,
emotional and spiritual and encourages discussion of your wishes
with your loves ones and physician.
