What Gives Your Life Meaning Resource Fair
Tuesday, April 8, 2025

University Hour, Kellogg Plaza

Join for our annual resource fair that asks you to consider what gives your life meaning and who needs to know it, as a way to think about advance planning for future healthcare needs. What are living for, and what does it mean to preserve and protect a quality of life that's worth living?

Stop by for free pizza and drinks! Learn more about advance care planning, resources for family caregivers, and services available to students and families facing long-term serious illness.

 

The WGYLM® Campaign

WGYLM logo

With the simple question, "What Gives Your Life Meaning?", the WGYLM® Campaign promotes public awareness of palliative care and related topics. The WGYLM® Campaign provides a way for organizations and groups to educate the public about palliative care, advance healthcare planning, family caregiving, and the value of reflecting on what means most to us--and sharing those reflections with those who might care and speak for us someday.
