"Last
year we first rolled out the Five Wishes campaign to our own hospice
employees (all 600+) of them and encouraged the employees and their
families to complete their Five Wishes. The campaign then proceeded
to extend to our community at large."
Christy Potter
Marketing Manager,
Hospice of Palm Beach County (FL)
Why is Five Wishes a good outreach
tool?
 |
Five Wishes approaches
advance care planning in a way that is very compatible with
hospice care. We all know that dying is more than just a
medical moment - so our advance care planning conversations should
include the issues that matter most. |
|
|
It allows hospices to
reach a broad audience with a resource that is of interest to
people of all ages and health conditions. In other words, it
helps raise awareness of hospice care before a health crisis. |
|
|
Five Wishes gets people
in your community thinking about what good care at the end of life
is all about -- which makes it an ideal time to educate them about
your hospice services |
