Considering your future medical preferences can be an emotional process, but remember, planning ahead is key to peace of mind. A living will allows you to maintain control over your healthcare decisions, even when you can't communicate them yourself.

What is a Living Will?

A living will is a legal document that outlines your wishes regarding specified medical treatments in situations where you're unable to make decisions. It provides clarity on interventions like resuscitation and life support, ensuring your preferences are upheld.

Why Update or Create a Living Will?

• Reducing the emotional burden on loved ones during stressful times by making your healthcare wishes clear.
• Removing ambiguity for doctors and family members, allowing them to confidently navigate difficult decisions.
• Highlighting specific medical treatments you do or don’t want, guiding critical interventions with precision.

Take Action: Your Living Will Check-In

If you don't have a living will or you haven't updated yours in a while, now is an ideal time to do so. Reviewing your living will regularly ensures it reflects your current preferences and circumstances.

Your healthcare decisions are personal and should be in your control. By having a living will, you’re not just planning for your future, you're protecting your peace of mind today.
