Planning ahead is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones.

Advanced directives help make your healthcare wishes known if there ever comes a time when you are unable to speak for yourself. They can help reduce stress, guide your family, and ensure your choices are respected during difficult moments.

Advanced directives may include options such as:

Do Not Resuscitate Orders / Medical Orders

Choosing whatโs right for you starts with thinking about your values, talking with someone you trust, and discussing your wishes with your healthcare provider and loved ones.
