A Community-Based Health Education Initiative
The Final Acts Project uses the arts and humanities to stimulate end-of-life discussion and planning.
Increase Awareness
of the importance of advance care planning.Understand the Need
End-of-life planning is important for all of us, including veterans and medically fragile children. As baby boomers age, society faces historically high end-of-life care needs.
Start the Conversation
with your family, friends, or physician. Consider hosting a Bucket List party, a fun and easy way to have meaningful discussions about the importance of advance care planning.A Conversation Worth Having
Denial and silence will not solve the challenges we all face. The last thing we want to burden our family with is our poor planning. You can avoid this by starting the conversation with those you love now. We should all strive to be the author of our own life scripts and to make our wishes and values known to our family, friends, and healthcare providers.Take Action
by downloading the Advance Directives found here on our website. Share with your family, plan for your wishes, and find greater appreciation for the time remaining with those you love.Make Your Plan
Complete your plan in minutes, or take as long as you need to feel confident. Be sure to include your family in the process. Discuss what you want your advance directive to include, and make sure you revisit your plan every three to five years. You may wish to change some part of it later; options are important!
