NEW
YORK, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
April 16, 2024 marks National
Healthcare Decisions Day to empower, inspire, and educate the
public and providers about the importance of advance care
planning.
The Cunniff-Dixon Foundation (CDF) is a non-profit
organization promoting palliative and end-of-life care through
collaboration, recognition, and education.
As part of National Healthcare Decision Day, CDF is
offering Planning My Way, a
free and comprehensive advance care planning tool offering users
the ability to create an end-of-life care plan while they are
healthy. Planning My Way modules
help users think, choose, talk about, and document their
end-of-life care choices and was created through a multi-year
collaboration with leading medical and ethics professionals.
End-of-life care decisions are best made while we are still
healthy. The Planning My Way free tool helps users document how
they feel about end-of-life care so their health care providers and
family members are not left to guess.
Jennifer Santini of Sykora &
Santini PLLC says, "As an estate planning attorney, we often tell
clients that thoughtful and thorough planning about medical care
and end-of-life care is a wonderful gift a person can give to their
family. Planning My Way is such an
important resource for families to ensure a person's wishes are
captured, understood, and most importantly honored - especially at
those very difficult moments in life."
By utilizing the free tool users may:
Decide what treatment and care they want and
help avoid invasive treatments they don't want;
Empower loved ones and reduce their burden by clearly communicating
end-of-life care wishes;
Reduce risk of a communication conflict between family members and
health care providers
