Let's Talk

When you’re ready to start the conversation about advance care planning, the first step is to speak with your health care provider and those close to you to make sure they know your wishes, understand them and are willing to honour them.

Talk to a trusted family member or friend

Discussing with your family and friends now about what level of care you do and do not want in the future will decrease their anxiety and help them to feel confident about your decisions when they need to make decisions on your behalf.

Talk to your doctor

It is important for you to discuss with your doctor to make sure your planning is clear and complete.  Make a list of questions to ensure you have accurate medical information to base your decisions on.
