-
A process where you reflect upon and plan for the care you would want if you are unable to make decisions for yourself.

Share this information with loved ones and put your wishes in writing.
Why is this important?

Advance care planning helps your loved ones and healthcare providers honor your goals and wishes if you are unable to speak for yourself.

If you are ever in an accident, have surgery, or get a serious illness, you may need someone to advocate for your wishes.
