Advance Care Planning Help

Receive free assistance with your advance care planning. Our staff can help you think through your care wishes, complete an advance directive and electronically store your documents for providers to easily access. Having your advance directive on file at the hospital allows providers to follow your wishes if you are ever in the hospital and unable to communicate.

An advance directive is a legal document that assigns a health care agent, a person that would speak for you should you be unable to communicate for yourself.  It can also include a living will, which is a document that communicates your health care  wishes. Learn more about advance directives at Speak(easy) Howard. Registration is not required. Walk-In.
