Questions? We're here for you.
Documenting your health care wishes takes a burden off your family and helps prevent unwanted suffering.
If you were badly hurt or very sick and could not communicate in any way, would your family know how to make health care choices for you that fit your wishes?
The best way to make sure your health care choices are known and followed is through advance care planning. It’s a process of talking with your family and other loved ones about what health care you would want—if you could not communicate for yourself. Then you complete an “advance directive,” a legal document that puts your wishes in writing.
