Join Sechelt Hospital Foundation, Dr. Carmen Goojah (Palliative Care, Vancouver Coastal Health), Carmen Sombrowski (Lawyer, Flemming & Sombrowski), Chloe Delany (Social Worker, VCH), and Kim Jameson, Bio-Medical Ethicist from VCH to understand:

  • What is an advance care plan (ACP), who needs one, and when?
  • What are the legal documents, processes and implications?
  • What happens if a patient does not have one?
  • What are the common ethical questions and concerns?

This session will be a straight-forward and practical discussion suitable for adults, seniors and caregivers, with tools and a guide to local resources to honor patient wishes in the future.
