Advance Care Planning includes thinking about what’s important to you, talking with those who matter to you, and writing down your plan for health care and treatment in a Health Care Directive. This document is only used when you are unable to participate in medical care decision making due to a serious injury, illness or other medical complication.
The Honoring Choices Advance Care Planning Program for Faribault & Owatonna utilizes trained volunteer facilitators to help guide you through this process of thinking, talking, and documenting your wishes in a health care directive that is unique to you.
All adults are encouraged to complete a health care directive. Advance care planning is not just for end-of-life care planning, sudden health events can happen to anyone. Should you be in a situation where you can’t participate in your medical care decision making, identifying who you want to represent you and sharing your goals for health care and treatment can provide guidance and support at a crucial time.
