Virtual Advance Care Planning Session

Service Description

The COVID-19 crisis has caught many of us by surprise. Now is the time to have some control over the type of healthcare you would want if you become unable to speak for yourself. Don’t get caught unprepared by a medical emergency. Medical emergencies can hit anyone’s life at any time, anywhere, and at any age. Having a completed electronic advance care plan during this pandemic is essential. It records your healthcare preferences and end of life wishes. It informs your doctors about your choice and reduces the burden from those you love, having to guess about the type of care you want if you become unable to speak for yourself. Planning for your care in advance contributes to the quality of care you receive during your illness. The session includes: What is Advance Care Planning and Why is it important? Who can be a health care agent and what are their responsibilities? An education on advance care goals and healthcare choices for Life-Sustaining Treatment. Zoom meetings are available.
