Respecting Choices

Respecting Choices is a program focused on advance care planning, encouraging individuals to express their healthcare preferences in advance, particularly for serious or end-of-life situations. It emphasizes the importance of communication between patients, families, and healthcare providers, ensuring that a person's wishes are understood and honored. The initiative promotes discussions about values, goals, and treatment options, helping to guide decision-making when individuals may not be able to speak for themselves. Ultimately, it aims to enhance patient autonomy and ensure that care aligns with individual preferences and beliefs.
