Our story - acknowledging our past, celebrating our present, creating our future

Why You Should Think About Your Future Healthcare Now

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionWe can't predict what will happen if we become seriously ill, and more often than not, we're simply unprepared for it. Fewer than 10% of us have thought about it, but advanced care planning can help. Advanced care planning is about discussing and documenting future healthcare choices in case you're unable to speak for yourself, for example, as a result of a car crash, dementia or stroke. It can provide assurance for quality of life and help your family maintain your wishes, even if you can't communicate. And it can offer your family peace of mind. Talking with loved ones about this may not be easy, but it's important. We all have the right to make our own healthcare decisions, and making them now free from pressure may be the way to receive the best care in the future. So make your choices known and talk to your health professionals about planning for your future care.CreatorJennifer BoddyDate created2014ContributorMarketing and CommunicationsPeople depictedJennifer BoddyLanguageEnglishCollectionKnow More in 60 Seconds Video Series
