PREPARE for Your Care for Veterans
The PREPARE workshop provides tools for participants to identify future hopes and wishes for medical care when living with a progressive or serious illness or at end of life; to identify a person who will advocate for their wishes when they no longer can; and to learn how to better talk with doctors and family and friends about their wishes and those of their loved ones. The workshop facilitator takes participants through a series of short videos and a question guide to prepare them to complete an Advance Care Directive or start the conversation with family, friends or doctors.
Medical staff presenting this workshop work with Veterans daily at the Fort Miley VA and are experienced in treating and addressing Veterans' concerns.
