Advance Care Planning
Planning for the future is an essential part of ensuring that your healthcare aligns with your personal values, culture, 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
- Choosing who will make medical decisions for you if you are ever unable.
- Reflecting on what matters most to your goals and values, personal, cultural and spiritual beliefs and your past experiences that may shape how you make future medical decisions.
- Understanding possible future health care choices.
- Writing down and sharing your choices with those closest to you and all your doctors and facilities you seek treatment in a document called an Advance Directive.
