Advance Care Planning is about deciding who will make health care decisions for you if you are unable to, and having conversations with them about your wishes, values and beliefs to help them understand how you would like to be cared for.

Community Presentations

It’s important to discuss your wishes for your own healthcare in the event you are too ill or injured to make those decisions for yourself. But it can be hard to know what questions to ask, and it can also be difficult to understand how Advance Care Planning works in Ontario.

Our Community Presentations can help answer these important questions.
