Advance Care Planning

Advance care planning is one of the most caring things you can do for yourself and your family. When you take time to think about and write down your healthcare wishes, you give yourself peace of mind and protect your loved ones from having to guess what you would want during a medical crisis.

Starting at age 18, anyone can benefit from advance care planning. You might be healthy now, but accidents and unexpected illnesses can happen at any age. By planning ahead, you make sure your voice is heard even if you can’t speak for yourself. This planning includes choosing someone you trust to make medical decisions for you and writing down what kind of care you do or don’t want.

The biggest gift of advance care planning is that it takes the burden off your family during already difficult times. Instead of arguing about what you might have wanted, they can focus on being with you and supporting each other. Planning ahead also helps your doctors and nurses provide care that matches your values and wishes, making sure you receive treatment that feels right for you.
