5 Wishes®
Five Wishes® is a document that helps you and the people in your life talk together about these important matters. It’s called an advance directive, because it helps you make decisions in advance that can direct your care later, and because it’s recognized in Florida as a legal document for this purpose.
Hard-copy documents, up to 10 copies, may be requested for pick up by calling 850-878-5310. If you require additional documents, you can purchase them HERE, based on your needs. Trained Five Wishes® facilitators are available to assist in completing the documents via our PEACE program. To learn more, contact Travia Cromartie at tcromartie@bigbendhospice.org.
Advance Directives & the PEACE Program
Plan Ahead. Empower Your Voice. Find Peace.
Everyone deserves a say in their future healthcare—even if they can’t speak for themselves. Big Bend Hospice offers the PEACE Program, a free service that helps you clarify your healthcare wishes and document them in a meaningful way.
In a private session with a trained facilitator, you’ll explore:
- Who should speak for you if you can’t
- What treatments you want—or don’t want
- How you’d like to be cared for and remembered
- How to complete a living will like Five Wishes
Planning ahead brings peace of mind to you and your loved ones.
To schedule your free appointment, call Asya Griffin or Travia Cromartie at (850) 878-5310

- Documenting one’s wishes utilizing Five Wishes®.
