Advance Care Planning

What Is Advance Care Planning?

Advance Care Planning is the process of preparing for future healthcare decisions in the event you cannot speak for yourself. It involves thinking about your values, discussing your wishes with loved ones, and documenting your preferences for medical treatment.

Why It's Important

  • Empowerment: Ensures your personal values guide your medical care.
  • Clarity for Family: Relieves your loved ones from the burden of making difficult decisions on your behalf during a crisis.
  • Better Care: Helps your medical team provide care that aligns with what is most important to you.
