Consumer’s Tool Kit for Health Care Advance Planning
(Separate Website)
Good advance planning for health care decisions is, in reality, a continuing conversation - about values, priorities, the meaning of one’s life, and quality of life. To help you in this process, this tool kit contains a variety of self-help worksheets, suggestions, and resources. There are 10 tools in all, each clearly labeled and user-friendly. The tool kit does not create a formal advance directive for you. Instead, it helps you do the much harder job of discovering, clarifying, and communicating what is important to you in the face of serious illness.

Is this what I should have to make sure that my health care wishes are followed?
