Health Care Decisions is a program of Hospice of the Valley devoted to educating the community about advance directives, which state individuals' wishes about their health care treatment. We urge people to think about their options, discuss their wishes with family and friends, and put their choices in writing. This web site is designed to assist our community to accomplish these important tasks, and to offer assistance to physicians and other health care professionals.

Our staff and volunteer speakers address community groups ranging from businesses to faith groups to civic organizations about advance care planning. The hour-long presentations are interactive, incorporating videos of families struggling with difficult decisions. We lead discussions and distribute forms for advance directives. We offer education and guidance to health care providers and help them set up systems to honor patients' wishes. The staff also is available for consultations with families and health-care providers.
