Person-Centered Approaches for Healthcare Decision Making is a practical program about supporting people to make healthcare decisions and practice ways to start conversations about future care planning and care at end of life.

Person-Centered Approaches for Healthcare Decision Making will help organization leaders, care coordinators, planners, and facilitators to learn about supporting people to make healthcare decisions and practice ways to start conversations about future care planning and care at end of life. When we normalize conversations about future wishes, as well as care and support needs, we become better advocates and we live knowing we have taken measures to honor another person’s wishes when they are unable to make decisions for themselves.

How Person-Centered Approaches for Healthcare Decision Making will help people thrive:
