Advance Medical Directives
Advance medical directives are your medical wishes made in advance of serious illness. This program has a holistic approach encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. Advance medical planning is a process of self recognition, education, making choices and communicating your wishes to the appropriate person(s). The journey starts with an informal self-evaluation. Before the program, start thinking about your feelings, past experiences, and values around your health and health care. This will prepare you to make thoughtful decisions, on your own terms, that reflect your beliefs and values.

Part I will teach you health care options and assist you in recognizing your values and wishes around health care.

Part II will be a communication of these wishes. You can invite your health care proxy and loved ones to this session.
