• Consumer's Tool Kit for Health Care Advance Planning

  Good advance planning for health care decisions is a continuing conversation about values, priorities, the meaning of one's life, and quality of life. This tool kit contains a variety of self-help worksheets, suggestions, and resources. There are 10 tools in all, each clearly labeled and user-friendly. The tool kit does not create a formal advance directive for you but helps you do the much harder job of discovering, clarifying, and communicating what is important to you in the face of serious illness.
