Learn how POLST allows people to choose the specific lifesaving measures they wish to be employed in the event of a life-limiting illness. The POLST form allows people to clearly state their wishes in advance so that those wishes will be honored at at time when the person may not be in a condition to speak for themselves. This program shows the POLST story in action by following patients through encounters in various healthcare settings.
