Five Wishes

You MUST Make Your Wishes Known

Five Wishes takes the uncertainty out of expressing your wishes for your future health care, if you become unable to speak for yourself.

Five Wishes is an easy-to-use legal document. It is America's most popular advance directive.

SO WHAT ARE THE FIVE WISHES?

• Which person I want to make health care decisions for me when I can't make them.
• The kind of medical treatment I want or don't want.
• How comfortable I want to be.
• How I want people to treat me.
• What I want my loved ones to know.

Five Wishes speaks to people in their own language, not in "doctor speak" or "lawyer talk." It can be used in the living room instead of the emergency room, and it helps families talk with their physician about a subject that before was too hard to face. Over FOUR AND A HALF MILLION COPIES of Five Wishes are circulating throughout the nation, many distributed by employers who are providing the document to their employees, to help them plan for themselves and have those delicate discussions with their aging parents.
