Your Decision, Your Choice<br />

With the nation’s eyes turned toward<br />

Terri Schiavo, national debate and<br />

intense media coverage found Americans<br />

asking the question, “What if I can’t speak<br />

for myself? Will my end of life <strong>wish</strong>es<br />

be heard?” It sparked conversations<br />

with families and friends, generating<br />

awareness of advanced <strong>care</strong> planning<br />

and the need for an advocate. We help<br />

families and friends with end-of-life<br />

<strong>decision</strong>-making through one on one<br />

workshops and seminars. Engaging<br />

in conversations, without controversy,<br />

conflict and courts allows individuals<br />

the ability to take control of their future.<br />

6,500 guides are<br />

distributed throughout<br />

the <strong>community</strong>.<br />

Confronting the Questions of Life<br />

Each of us ought to have an advocate,<br />

someone we trust to carry out our <strong>wish</strong>es.
