Advance care planning is the process of detailing your future medical care preferences. It provides guidance to your family, close friends and healthcare providers if you can no longer speak for yourself or make your own decisions.

By adding an advance care planning document to My Health Record, your wishes can be safely and securely accessed if they were ever needed in a medical emergency.

If you haven't already, take a moment during this important week to upload to your record, and make your wishes known when you cannot speak for yourself.
