April 16th is Advance Care Planning Day!
This year we are asking the questions: “If not you, who? If not now, when?”
Advance Care Planning is part of life planning, it is the process of thinking about your values, beliefs, and wishes for future health and personal care. Completing an Advance Care Plan can help make sure you get the care that’s right for you.
We encourage everyone, no matter their stage in life, to have an Advance Care Plan. Start the conversation with your loved ones about what’s important to you and your future health care.
