Advance Care Planning Canada

Advance Care Planning Canada ? Who would you trust to make your healthcare decisions? April 16th is the Canadian National Advance Care Planning Day.

It is a day for you and others to reflect on decisions you would like made about your health care, should you be unable to speak for yourself. Advance Care Planning Day provides an opportunity to open up a conversation with a loved one about their wishes for end of life care - or it might remind you to review your own plan.

June is National Indigenous History Month. As we reflect on the profound histories and enduring strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples, CHPCA and ACP Canada are reaffirming our commitment to reconciliation in healthcare.

We believe high-quality hospice and palliative care must be rooted in cultural safety, humility, and deep respect for diverse traditions. Reconciliation goes beyond this month of reflection. It must be an ongoing, daily practice of listening, learning, and collaborating to dismantle barriers to compassionate end-of-life care.

Join us in honouring . Together, let’s work toward an equitable healthcare system for all. . . . .
Juin est le Mois national de l'histoire autochtone. Alors que nous réfléchissons aux histoires profondes et à la force durable des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis, l’ACSP et PPS Canada réaffirment leur engagement envers la réconciliation dans le secteur de la santé.

Nous croyons fermement que des soins palliatifs et de fin de vie de haute qualité doivent s'enraciner dans la sécurité culturelle, l'humilité et un profond respect des diverses traditions. La réconciliation va bien au-delà de ce mois de réflexion : elle doit être une pratique quotidienne et continue d'écoute, d'apprentissage et de collaboration afin de briser les barrières qui entravent l'accès à des soins de fin de vie empreints de compassion.

Joignez-vous à nous pour souligner le . Ensemble, travaillons à bâtir un système de santé équitable pour tout le monde.

Why do so many of us avoid Advance Care Planning? Bioethicist Dr. Andria Bianchi breaks down the philosophy behind why we hesitate, and why shifting the focus from specific medical decisions to our personal values can make the process much less daunting.

Give your loved ones the confidence to speak for you by starting the dialogue today.

By Andria Bianchi National Advance Care Planning (ACP) day was on April 16, 2019. The purpose of ACP day is to encourage people to have discussions about their values, wishes, and beliefs in relation to their health and personal care. For many, ACP is a difficult (and, perhaps, taboo) topic since it...

Do you believe it's important to talk about your future care wishes? Most Canadians (93%) do!

So why is it that only 1 in 5 of us actually have a plan in place? There's a gap between our intentions and our actions, and we're here to help you bridge it.

Advance Care Planning goes beyond making healthcare decisions; it's about living well on your own terms. Make your wishes known and lighten the load for your loved ones.

Ready to turn belief into action? Learn how to begin your plan at advancecareplanning.ca (link in bio).
