• It’s time to take care of an important task. Who would make decisions for you if you could no longer speak for yourself? What if you had an accident and your loved ones needed to know what your wishes were? Do you want CPR? It doesn’t always work like it does on television. These are only a few of the questions that your family may deal with if you are unable to communicate your wishes. It is important to let your family know what your wishes are and designate a person to make those decisions. If you want to know more, come learn about Advance Directives. Advance Directives designate a decision maker, state your wishes, and can be done without any cost involved!
