Advance Care Planning

Advance Care Planning at Butte Native Wellness Center

Planning for the future is an essential part of ensuring that your healthcare aligns with your personal values, beliefs, and wishes. Advance Care Planning is the process of making decisions about the care you would want if you became unable to speak for yourself.

Why Advance Care Planning is Important

Clarity for Your Loved Ones: Relieve the burden on family members by providing clear instructions about your preferences.
Control Over Your Care: Ensure your healthcare aligns with your values, whether it’s receiving all possible treatments or focusing on comfort care.
Preparedness for the Unexpected: Life is unpredictable, and having a plan gives peace of mind knowing your wishes are documented.

The Process of Advance Care Planning

Reflect on Your Values and Goals: Consider what matters most to you in life and healthcare.
Learn About Medical Options: Understand possible healthcare decisions you may face, including life-sustaining treatments.
Choose a Healthcare Proxy: Designate a trusted individual to make decisions on your behalf if you’re unable to do so.
Document Your Preferences: Complete an Advance Directive, including any specific wishes about medical care.
Communicate with Loved Ones: Share your plan with family, friends, and your healthcare provider to ensure everyone is aware.
