WIHI Broadcast on "Who's Your Health Care Proxy?"
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement is hosting a "talk show" on the issues surrounding choosing a health care proxy.
Situations arise throughout our lives when we need a trusted person to communicate with doctors and nurses on our behalf. And, if we are facing care decisions near the end of life, a proxy can play a crucial role ensuring our wishes are respected.
To learn about all aspects about health care proxies, listen to the WIHI panel on April 6th:
