We plan for tomorrow so we can live for today—a good motto for life! Advanced care planning is part of life planning, specifically our health care plans. In the first two sessions of this course, we'll learn the what, why, who and how of planning for our health care in terms of our values, goals and wishes. We'll discuss the importance of talking to others and how to have these important conversations. In the last session, we'll discuss estate planning.
