ACD (Advance Care Planning)

Advance Care Planning (ACP) is the process of thoughtfully discussing, documenting, and sharing your preferences for medical care in case you become unable to make decisions later. It involves considering what treatments you would want or not want, and designating someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if necessary. The goal is to ensure that your healthcare aligns with your values and wishes, providing clarity for family and caregivers during difficult times. ACP encourages proactive, respectful communication about future healthcare goals, helping to ensure your wishes are honored even when you can't communicate them yourself.
