Advance Care Planning

Advance Care Planning is a process of reflection and communication. It is a time for you to reflect on your values and wishes, and to let people know what kind of health and personal care you would want in the future if you were unable to speak for yourself. Advance care planning is for everyone – no matter where you find yourself on your health care journey. In a few simple steps you can begin planning that may help ensure you have a voice in our health care now and in the future. Join the Fraser Health Advance Care Planning team to learn about the laws related to health care and decision making and how to begin your own advance care plan. It’s never too early… until it is too late.
