At so many of our workshops, we encounter people who say if they are ever unable to speak for themselves in the hospital, they want to receive “good care.” But what does “good care” mean? The simple answer is that good care is different for everyone. Your values and ideal quality of life impact what medical treatments and recovery you would want to have. When you start Advance Care Planning, start with defining what “good care” means to you. Join us at an upcoming workshop or schedule a one-on-one appointment to complete your Advance Directive today: https://www.getitdonesb.org/events-and-programs

An advance directive not only defines your medical preferences, but also invites your loved ones to share their own thoughts and concerns. Advance Care Planning is a process that involves both you and your family building a clear map that will guide your loved ones when they need it most, ensuring that your decisions are known and respected. Learn more about having conversations about your Advance Directive with your loved ones at https://www.getitdonesb.org/having-the-conversation.
