Personalized advance care planning
Advance care planning is essential for managing your health care according to your wishes, especially in an accident, medical event, or end-of-life situation. Our knowledgeable volunteers can help you understand how to take control of your medical care.
Managing your health care your way
Do you know what kind of medical care you would receive if you couldn’t speak for yourself because of a vehicle accident, stroke or unexpected surgery? If it matters to you, join us to learn why advance-care planning is so important for you and all your family members. Make sure you are the one making these decisions by choosing a health care power of attorney and completing your advance directives. Advance directives are legal documents to assist you in making health care decisions in advance. The purpose is to let others know about and honor your wishes if you can't speak for yourself, whether due to an accident, medical event or towards the end of life. Advance directives include living wills, medical powers of attorney and pre-hospital medical directives. Don't put it off any longer. At TMC, we want YOUR health care to always be in YOUR control.Find resources, forms and more information in the links below.Advance directives
