Healthcare Decisions and Living Wills

Healthcare Decisions and Living Wills is a class about completing an Advance Care Plan, often called a living will, in the event that you cannot voice your specific wishes or decisions. Led by our registered nurses, the class provides facts and explains your options; and walks you through the completion of the necessary forms. Advance Care Planning helps patients and families to feel more prepared, and more in control, when health takes a turn for the worse.

If you do not have an Advance Care Plan on file, or you need to update yours, this class is a great place to start.

Topics include:

Understanding the facts
Understanding the various forms
What are your medical options?
How to properly document your preference
What is a healthcare agent and how do I select one?
How do I start a conversation about my wishes?
When to update forms

This class is available to UC Davis Health members only.
