Part 4 of 4-Part “Empowering Patients” Complete Workshop Series - Understanding Resuscitation Options, Including “Heroics”

  • West Vancouver Seniors Activity Centre 695 21st Street West Vancouver, BC, V7V 4A7 Canada (map)

$5 - registration required. West Van Seniors Activity Centre brings us a practical 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: $5
