IN-PERSON: LGBTQ+Advance Planning

Leaders: Lora Gerard MPA, Lori Fortini, MEd, Cheryl Sturgis, PA

Advance care planning is preparing for your future healthcare and life decisions. It is the ongoing process of making your wishes and values known to your providers and caregivers.  Although thinking about end-of-life may be difficult, doing the work of Advance Care Planning before a crisis or health change occurs is a gift to yourself and your loved ones. If you do not make your preferences known, your providers and loved ones are left to make tough decisions without knowing what you’d really want. That hole in communication could result in extended intensive treatments or more limits on your care.
