Thinking about medical decisions isn't always easy, but planning ahead can bring you peace of mind. A living will is your way to maintain control over healthcare decisions when communication isn't possible. It's a practical check-in for you to consider creating or reviewing this important document.

Here are some key aspects of a living will:

• A living will provides clarity on medical treatments such as resuscitation, life support, and other critical interventions.
• This legal document ensures your healthcare wishes are known and respected, even if you can't communicate them directly.
• Having a living will in place removes ambiguity for doctors and family members, guiding them through difficult decisions with confidence.
• When you create a living will, you’re helping to reduce the emotional burden on your loved ones during stressful situations.

If you don’t have a living will or haven't updated yours in years, now is a great time for a check-in. Take action by reviewing or creating your living will today, and ensure your wishes are respected and your loved ones are supported.
