Information Workshop About Green Sleeve
The one thing we know about life is that, at some point, we are all going to die. Advance care planning helps you communicate and document the care you would like to receive if you get very sick and cannot speak for yourself.
This workshop is hosted by the Pender Harbour Women’s Connection for residents who want to learn about the Green Sleeve Initiative and explore the steps involved in making an advance care plan. Registration required.
If you are not already a member of the Pender Harbour Women’s Connection and would like to attend, please contact Maureen Luck for more details at 604-883-0444
All participants will receive a Green Sleeve package.
The Green Sleeve Initiative
Program launched in 2022
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.
If you would like the Coast Hospice ACP Team to present a workshop to your organization, or would like to be put on the waiting list for the next public workshop, please contact us at the link below.
