Five Wishes

In many ways, there is no better gift to give the person caring for you than that of clear direction regarding your wishes should you be put in the position in which you are unable to speak for yourself. Further, thinking about your advanced directives during times of good health can give you clarity and comfort in your decisions.

Who would you like to speak for you when you can’t?

What kind of care and treatments would you accept or not accept?

What measures do you want to be taken to see to your comfort?

What do you want your loved ones to know?

All of those topics are included in the Five Wishes Advance Directive Project created by the Aging with Dignity Foundation and are being adopted at The Regional Cancer Center.

RCC patients and their caregivers can sign up to attend a free education session and receive a free Five Wishes workbook. Workbooks are also available directly from Aging with Dignity

Sessions are held each month on the third Monday at noon and the fourth Thursday at 4:00 PM.

Call (814) 838-9000 and ask to speak with the registration staff for more information or to register for a Five Wishes session.
