Advanced care planning is the process of planning “in advance” for health care decisions that may be needed in the future. Someday you may be unable to make decisions about your health care, and others may need to decide what treatments to undertake or forego. Advanced care planning provides information about your care preferences to health care providers, family members, and others involved in such decisions.
