Advanced Care Planning Presentation at Strongsville
Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that helps individuals understand and share their personal values, life goals and preferences regarding future medical care, especially when they may become unable to make decisions for themselves. ACP involves having conversations with loved ones and healthcare providers about your healthcare wishes and, ideally, documenting these preferences in legal documents called advance directives. In this program, we will explain the significance of ACP, highlight ways in which you can engage in conversations with loved ones about your healthcare preferences and values, and ideally, ensure that each attendee who wants to complete formal ACP documents have the resources and assistance to do so. Our presenter is Marcie A. Lambrix, who has been affiliated with Case Western Reserve University Department of Bioethics for nearly 20 years and has been a member of the MetroHealth System’s Center for Biomedical Ethics. In her outreach role, Marcie devotes her time to getting out into the community to help educate the public on what ACP is, why it is important, and what documents can be completed to help ensure a person’s healthcare values and preferences are known if that person should not be able to speak for themselves.
