Start the conversation
What type of medical care would you want if you had a sudden accident or illness and couldn't speak for yourself? Who would you trust to make medical decisions on your behalf? Advance Care Planning (ACP) will help you plan now to ensure your preferences and decisions for healthcare are known and honored. We believe that all adults should plan in advance.
Pick your agent
Everyone over 18 should have a healthcare agent who can make decisions for them when they can’t speak for themselves. Have you chosen yours?
Share your plan
Once your plan is finished, tell everyone. Send copies to your:
- healthcare agent
- primary care provider
- other loved ones who should know
If you live in a PeaceHealth community, you can
- upload it to your MyPeaceHealth account.
- email it to rssys-peacehealthacp@peacehealth.org
- mail it to Health Information Management 1115 SE 164th Avenue, Dept. 336 Vancouver, WA 98683
Review and update your advance directive regularly
Advance care planning is an ongoing process. Review your advance directive when any of the 5 D’s occur:
- Decade has gone by
- Death of a loved one or dispute with healthcare agent
- Divorce
- Decline in health
- Diagnosis with a serious illness.
A new advance directive must be completed to change healthcare agent name(s) or to provide new healthcare preferences or instructions.
