Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association ‘Tis the season: Take a Simple Step as a Healthcare Planning Ambassador
November 12 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
As the season brings an increase in flu and other respiratory illnesses and as families gather to celebrate the holidays, it’s an opportunity to have conversations about taking the simple steps to choose a Health Care Agent and complete a Health Care Proxy. Join us to become a Health Care Planning Ambassador, using MHA’s Simple Step Campaign to enhance your knowledge and to help begin simple planning conversations with individuals.
Ambassadors learn how to:
• Confidently start a two-minute conversation to choose a Health Care Agent.
• Download a Health Care Proxy (available in 16 languages) and free tool kits.
• Make your own wallet card in case of medical emergencies.
• Use our structured approach to seamlessly flow from a simple to serious illness conversation with accompanying Massachusetts documents.
All campaign materials are provided, including a new tool kit to help adults with disabilities make a care plan using words and pictures.
Ambassadors receive an Honoring Choices Massachusetts Health Care Planning Ambassador Certificate. E-mail Ellen DiPaola for more information.
