What you've heard is true. You need Health Care Advance Directives. Would you like to know why? In her award-winning 2006 book, "Last things first, just in case," attorney Jo Kline first addressed the approaching crisis surrounding aging and end-of-life care in America. The perfect storm she predicted is now peeking over America's horizon:
- America's dramatically aging population
- The dwindling financial and human resources available to address their needs
- Our pervasive lack of health literacy.
- The Four Simple Steps: Education, Delegation, Communication and Documentation.
- The importance of a health care proxy and how to choose the most qualified advocate.
