Advance Care Planning
- http://www.viha.ca/pal_eol/advance_care_planning.htm
- Advance Care Planning allows you to have a say in the health care you will receive if you are too sick to speak for yourself. It is a way to reflect on your values, beliefs and wishes so that you can make your own health care decisions. By discussing and documenting your wishes with your loved ones, health care team and family physician, they will be better able to act on your behalf.
