Welcome to Better Ending,

a web site that helps you plan in advance for serious illness and assure your final wishes. Information on this site can help you prepare to make better medical decisions before a medical emergency. Our Guide for a Better Ending lays the groundwork for discussing end-of-life issues with the people most important to you.

When you download the guide and fill out both the health care proxy form and personal wishes statement, you’ll be taking an important step in the management of future health care needs.
