The Greater Flint Health Coalition is pleased to announce the release of the newly developed Your Health Your Choice Advance Care Planning website located at www.yourhealthyourchoice.org. The user-friendly website allows individuals to easily access advance care planning resources. Users may schedule a free advance care planning appointment with a certified facilitator (located at a number of locations including Genesys Health System, Hurley Medical Center, and McLaren Flint), download a large variety of informative advance care planning materials including a fillable Your Health Your Choice advance directive document, and receive updates regarding advance care planning events and activities throughout the community.
Make Your Healthcare Wishes Known
In life, we plan for many things. Advance care planning is the process of coming to understand, reflect on, discuss, and plan for a time when you cannot make your own medical decisions. Advance care planning is about ensuring that the healthcare treatment you receive is consistent with your wishes and preferences. To help ensure this process, individuals may complete the Your Health Your Choice advance directive, which is a document that names who you want to make healthcare decisions for you should you become unable to speak for yourself and describes what type of medical care you want in the future. Advance care planning is a gift to you and your family that promotes peace of mind.
For additional information or to schedule a facilitated advance care planning appointment, please contact either Lori Kunkel or Harmony Teske of the Greater Flint Health Coalition at (810) 232-2228 or gfhc@flint.org.
