Understanding Resuscitation Options, Including “Heroics” - with Connie Jorsvik

  • Brock House - Halpen Room 3875 Point Grey Road Vancouver, BC, V6R 1B3 Canada (map)

Brock House Society presents a practical in person four-part workshop series facilitated by Connie Jorsvik of PatientPathways.ca .

In Part 4, we will unpack what heroics means in healthcare—medical treatments used during crisis that aim to save or prolong life, but may involve aggressive interventions. You’ll understand the terms “resuscitation” and “heroic measures”, such as CPR or life-support treatments, and the implications of choosing to accept or decline them.

You’ll also explore which treatments you might want or not want during serious illness, frailty, or dementia, and how to communicate your wishes clearly when it matters most.

Cost: $37.50

Registration required: call 604-228-1461

Limited seating.
