Kōkua Mau: Your Partner for Advance Care Planning
More businesses and organizations are recognizing the importance of equipping their employees and others with sound information on Advance Care Planning (ACP). Employees need advice from a trusted, objective resource to make sound decisions when a family member is facing critical end-of-life care decisions. It is a situation that touches everyone at some point. Kōkua Mau can be your valuable partner to initiate this planning process. Download the PDF file with details.
