Advance Care Planning - Online Class

Learn more about advanced care planning. The kind of care you would want if you became seriously ill or injured or unable to speak for yourself.

“Advance care planning is not simply filling out an advance care directive. ACP is a process across time of understanding, reflecting on and discussing future medical decision, including end of life decisions. ACP is the best way we at Essentia have found to understand the goals, values and beliefs of an individual and incorporate what matters most to each person into the care they receive.” Says Wanda Paulsen, RN Advance Care Planning Program Manager.

What if an accident,  injury, or a sudden illness like COVID-19 left you unable to speak for yourself? Who would you want to speak for you?  What would you want them to know about your values and wishes? Join us for a free online webinar for a thought provoking presentation to help you make your wishes known as well as:

•Learn vocabulary

•Reflect on your values

•Explore goals for treatment

•Take steps towards completing a healthcare directive

Prior to class, please download and have available an advance directive to reference.
