Advanced Planning

"Advance Planning EOL" refers to Advance Care Planning (ACP), which is the process of individuals making decisions about their future healthcare, especially regarding end-of-life care. ACP involves discussions about your values and wishes, often leading to the creation of advance directives like a living will (stating treatment preferences) and a durable healthcare power of attorney (appointing a health proxy to make decisions). These documents ensure your choices are known and respected when you cannot communicate them yourself.
