As the year comes to a close, many of us reflect on what matters most. It’s also a meaningful time to start conversations that bring peace, clarity and comfort for the future.

OSF Care Decisions, our advance care planning model, helps guide patients and families through meaningful discussions about future health care choices.

These conversations can include planning for comfort-focused care, such as hospice, ensuring wishes are known and respected if serious illness arises.

Taking time to plan now helps ensure future care decisions reflect a loved one’s values and beliefs.

Advance care planning is a way for you to discuss the kind of medical care you want with your family and doctors.
