End of Life Planning
Having conversations with family, health care professionals, and close friends are important for planning your end-of-life care. Organizations like PCOA can help you begin those conversations and give you reliable information on filling out your advanced directives. In addition, these plans allow you to have the care and treatment you would want if you no longer can make the decisions on your own. The sub-categories here will assist you in this process. In the future, the Arizona Advance Directive Registry will be hosted and maintained by a healthcare organization called Health Current. As a result, a person’s end-of-life care plans will be accessible by healthcare professionals as part of their electronic health record.
End of Life Education
End of life care education provides information and resources to assist people who are thinking about, planning for, and documenting their end of life care plans (also known as advanced directives). End of life education clarifies medical and legal terms, answers frequently asked questions, and creates a respectful space for considering your end of life options for health care and creating a legacy. Presentations are available in 1 or 2-hour versions, can be provided in English or Spanish, and are customizable to meet the unique needs of your company, place of worship, or community group. Some organizations, like PCOA, can also develop a unique presentation to address specific end of life issues or concerns that are important to you.
