Healthcentric Advisors, in partnership with the Improving End-of-Life Care Coalition (a project of Rhode Island State Nurses Association), Care New England, Progreso Latino, and the RI Council of Churches, launched a multifaceted project to promote effective discussions between healthcare providers and their patients and families.
This partnership provides education and tools from the My Care, My Choice, My Voice campaign to assist these conversations. This process empowers people to (1) Think of what types of care they want; (2) Choose their healthcare preferences, their healthcare decision maker, and document their wishes; and (3) Voice their decisions to loved ones and healthcare providers.
It really is the best gift you can give your loved one because they are going to be going through so much stress after losing you that they’re really not going to be able to make sound decisions. – Linda Loxley, elder care case manager
I’ve seen so many families at end-of-life and it’s disruptive. Now that I have this actual pamphlet to give then I think it will be very beneficial. – Colleen DeGroot, hospice nurse
