💚Join us on MAY 19th for an introduction to Advanced Care Planning and the Coast Green Sleeve.

Introduction to Advanced Care Planning and the Sunshine Coast Green Sleeve.
We’ll walk you through the steps of advance care planning:
THINK - What is important to you and what you would want if you are not able to speak for yourself.
LEARN - What your health care choices may be if you become ill.
DECIDE - Who you want speaking for you if you were unable to speak for yourself.
TALK - With the people you care about, and who care about you, to let them know what your future wishes are.
DOCUMENT - What documents do I need?

And we’ll introduce you to the Sunshine Coast Green Sleeve - a “container” for your advance care planning documents. It contains the information emergency responders, your healthcare providers and your family need to ensure your wishes are honoured.

Everyone is welcome, but space is limited. Please register in advance by calling 604-885-3513 or emailing acp@coasthospice.com.

🗓 May 19th
⏰ 2-4 p.m.
📍Sechelt Seniors Activity Centre @ 5604 Trail Ave., Sechelt

**We are grateful to the Notary Foundation of BC for their funding support of our Green Sleeve Initiative.💛💙

✨Happy National Volunteer Week!✨

Meet Joan, one of the 100+ compassionate volunteers who make Coast Hospice so special.

“My intention as a Coast Hospice volunteer is to be able to offer caring, comfort, respect and support to someone who is grieving. All of these things were provided to me; therefore, it is my wish to extend my hand and heart to provide them to others.”

Joan, thank you for the care, initiative, kindness, respect, and support that you bring to this community. We appreciate you. 💙💛

Volunteers are the HEART of Hospice. Without them, our work would not be possible.

Being a Hospice volunteer is a fulfilling and meaningful experience which offers you the opportunity to support individuals and families during challenging times.🙏

A Hospice volunteer can be an essential part of the care team that supports families as they plan, face end-of-life or grieve the loss of a loved one.

ABOUT: Sunshine Coast Hospice Society (SCHS) developed their Green Sleeve program in 2020 as a collaboration with local physicians, paramedics and home care nurses. It started out as a COVID pilot project and has become a core Hospice program. This session will review how the Green Sleeve works as part of the advance care planning program in our semi-rural community. We will review the benefits, successes and challenges and will look forward to sharing ideas and experiences with the audience around advance care planning in their respective communities.

Thank you, Denis, for the care, kindness, and presence you bring. We greatly appreciate all that you do for this community. 💙💛
