The quality of your end-of-life care can be greatly improved through thoughful planning: finding the right care setting, working with providers who align with your values, and being an active participant in your care decisions. Understanding the healthcare system becomes easier with the right guidance and preparation. When you and your medical team have open conversations about your values and preferences, you're much more likely to receive care that truly reflects what matters most to you. This presentation provides information and tools that will help you advocate for the care you want, need, and deserve.  It can also help individuals who may have a doctor or healthcare system that does not align with their end-of-life values and priorities.
