Advance care planning is a facilitated process of planning for future health and personal care. Advance care planning conversations help to ensure that a person’s beliefs, values, and preferences are understood, and then documented, so that they are in place to guide future decision-making at a time when a person is unable to make their wishes known to their healthcare team. Carla Sutter, MSW, of the Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry will help you design a plan that honors your end-of-life healthcare wishes.
