"Advanced Directives"

Advanced Care Planning developed from the Patient Self Determination Act of 1990 which required hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospice programs and health maintenance organizations to inform patients of their rights under State law to make decisions concerning their medical care.

 Have an Advanced Directive?     I can help you answer "Yes"!

​Regardless of your current state of health, documenting your stance on Life Prolonging treatment relieves others from making that decision for you.

Creating an end of life care plan is one of the hardest things you may ever need to do.  By allowing me to become familiar with your values and beliefs I can help you translate your wishes into medical treatment options based on the laws of your state.
