The Ultimate Gift –Advance Care Planning
Advance Care planning is the best gift you could ever give to your loved ones. It is a process of coming to understand, reflect on, discuss and plan for a time when you cannot make medical decisions for your self. Effective planning is the best way to ensure your views and wishes are respected by your loved ones and your health care providers. Its much easier for those you love to “carry out your wishes” rather than “guess what they might have been.”
In Michigan, an advance directive lets you appoint the person you want to speak for you and make decisions on your behalf when you’re not able to do so. That person is called your Patient Advocate.
Come and learn about the process, how to start a conversation, choosing an advocate and completing an advance directive. All in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Do it for yourself and do it for the ones you love, it is… “The Ultimate Gift”
