Honoring the wishes of those with serious illness and frailty

This website discusses POLST: Portable Medical Orders. POLST is many things, including:

  • A process. Part of advance care planning, which helps you live the best life possible.
  • Conversation. A good talk with your provider about your medical condition, treatment options, and what you want.
  • A medical order form that travels with you (called a POLST form).
