Advance Care Planning
Establishing an end-of-life care plan is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family. Why? Because at any age a medical crisis could leave you too ill to make your own healthcare decisions. That is why it is so crucial for you to have a conversation with your family and physician to create an advance directive, which makes sure you get the medical care you would want, if you are unable to speak for yourself.
