Advance care planning is sharing decisions about the healthcare you would want to receive if you are faced with a medical crisis.  These are decisions to make based on your personal values, preferences, and discussions with your loved ones.

Advance care planning includes:

• Sharing your personal values with your loved ones
• Deciding what type of treatment you would want, or would not want, should you be faced with a medical crisis
• Electing an advocate to speak for you if you become unable to speak for yourself
• Completing and sharing the appropriate documentation or advance directive

Harbor Hospice and Harbor Palliative Care suggest the user-friendly Making Choices Michigan advance directive – click on the link below or contact us to obtain a hard copy of the form.
