WE TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER. WE TALK ABOUT SPORTS.

BUT TOO FEW OF US TALK ABOUT WHAT MATTERS MOST.

Think about it… if a surgery, accident, or serious illness prevented you from speaking for yourself, would your loved ones know your wishes? Would you know theirs?

Samaritan Healthcare & Hospice says NOW is the time to THINK. TALK. And ACT.

THINK about what you’d want if you couldn’t speak. TALK about your wishes with those who matter to you.

And ACT by writing it down!

Experts agree the right place to have these delicate conversations is around your kitchen table, not in the ICU!
Think of these talks as your gift to your loved ones to communicate wishes, prevent family burden, and avoid disagreements during crisis times.

Already have an advance directive?

Find out how talking “the talk” goes far beyond the legal living will your lawyer may have helped you complete.
