Advance Care Planning Workshop
The Green Sleeve
Seating is limited for this event, registration will close prior to November 22nd. Email info@myssac.com or phone 604-885-3513 to register for this free workshop.
An accident or medical crisis can happen to anyone of any age at any time. In this workshop, presenters from Sunshine Coast Hospice will introduce you to the Sunshine Coast Green Sleeve.
Think of the Green Sleeve as your invaluable healthcare passport. It’s a secure place to store your medical information and advance care plan (ACP) documents, ready to be accessed in case of a medical emergency or a decline in your health.
Developing your advance care plan is essential for communicating your wishes for future care. Putting a plan in place will help ensure you get the care you want and help your family at a difficult time.
The advanced care planning documented in your Green Sleeve is your voice when you can't speak. It ensures you receive the level of care you want if you get very sick and cannot speak for yourself.
Since its startup in 2020, more than 3,000 Green Sleeve kits have been distributed on the Sunshine Coast.
We are grateful to SSAC for hosting the event and the London Drugs Foundations for their funding support of the program.
The Green Sleeve Initiative
Think of the Green Sleeve as your healthcare passport. It’s a place to store your medical information and advance care plan (ACP) documents in case of a medical emergency or a decline in your health.
Developing your advance care plan is an important process for communicating your wishes for future care. Putting a plan in place will help ensure you get the care you want, and it will help your family at a difficult time.
Bring your Green Sleeve to medical appointments or your trip to the hospital. Store it safely at home on or near the fridge, where paramedics and family know to find it during an emergency. Your Green Sleeve will speak for you if you are too ill or injured to speak for yourself.
