Join Snohomish County’s Aging & Disability Services Division on March 28 to learn about “Five Wishes,” a form used to help people make decisions about their medical care later in life.
 
In coordination with the Snohomish County Council on Aging and the Everett Clinic, Snohomish County staff will help participants understand the importance of having end-of-life medical needs answered, including:
The person who can make decisions when a loved one can’t.
The types of medical treatments wanted or not wanted.
Information that can be released to family and friends.
 
The free workshop will be 10:30 a.m. to noon, March 28, at Compass Health’s Administrative Offices, 4526 Federal Ave., Everett, in Building Two’s Central Conference Room.

In addition, county staff will share information about various advanced directive documents, including power of attorney and POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment) forms.
