If not you, who? If not now, when?
Who would you trust to make your health and personal care decisions?
How would they know what you want?
April 16 is Advance Care Planning Day in Canada, and it’s the perfect time to start conversations with your loved ones about what’s important to you when it comes to future health care.
Advance Care Planning is part of life planning – life planning for education or retirement – and can help to make sure you get the care that’s right for you, even if you can’t speak for yourself.
Advance Care Planning is a process of thinking about your values, beliefs, and wishes for future health and personal care, and sharing them with the people you trust. It can also include choosing who would make care decisions for you if you cannot.
