Topics include learning about choosing a support team of family or friends, possible care decisions the doctor in charge of your care in a hospital will want to discuss with you. Participants will receive resources to help learn how to consider your priorities for living well and how to discuss your priorities with your support team. The goal: you and your team will confidently know how to answer the hospital team’s questions ensuring a good hospital experience.
