Advance Care Planning
What matters most to you in your life, and what does that mean for your health and personal care?
Share your wishes and preferences with the people who are important to you to ensure that you get the care you want.
What is the Advance Care Planning process?
-
ACP are conversations that help you and your Substitute Decision-Maker (SDM) prepare for future healthcare decisions.
-
It is important to prepare your SDM because there may come a time when you are unable to make your own healthcare decisions.
-
As long as you are mentally capable you will continue to make your own healthcare decisions. However, sometimes people cannot make their own decisions because they are too sick or unconscious (not awake). This could be during surgery, from an accident or due to an illness. If you recover and become mentally capable again, you will make hour own decisions.
​
