What Gives Your Life Meaning?
Resource Fair: Tuesday, April 18, 2023, U-hour, Kellogg Plaza
Join us in front of Kellogg Library for a free lunch and information on wellness, family caregiving, advance care planning, and resources to help us improve the quality of our lives. Exhibitors typically include the Southern Caregiver Resource Center, the San Diego Coalition for Compassionate Care, and the County of San Diego LiveWell Project. Help us create public art exhibits and take an opportunity to think about What Gives Your Life Meaning---and Who Needs to Know About It.
"What Gives Your Life Meaning?" coincides with National Healthcare Decisions Week, recognized every April. The goal of our campaign is to encourage our community members to think and talk with their loved ones about the things that make life worth living, and relate these values to planning for future healthcare needs. If you ever needed to make medical decisions for a seriously ill loved one, or they had to do the same for you, would either of you know what to do? Plan to talk about these questions with your family and friends, and be prepared to take care of one another, and direct one another's care. Consider completing an Advance Directive naming someone to make decisions for you, just in case you're incapacitated.

Held each year on the CSU San Marcos campus in North San Diego County, this conference enables San Diego area palliative care professionals to meet, expand their networks, share best practices, and learn from one another. Our conference is presented by the San Diego Coalition for Compassionate Care and hosted by the Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care at CSUSM. Our goal is to promote advance healthcare planning and access to palliative care within our region, by supporting our network of local providers. Stay tuned for more details and the announcement of this year's conference theme.
