Last week, we hosted a webinar on creating a personal health care plan using the Honoring Choices MA Getting Started Tool Kit. The webinar covered the importance of having a plan in place to ensure you receive care that is right for you today and over your lifetime. Our expert speaker, Ellen DiPaola, president of Honoring Choices Massachusetts, walked attendees through a simple three-step process to make their own plan, including choosing a Health Care Agent, talking with family and friends about care choices, and discussing plans with doctors and care providers.
If you missed the webinar, you can now watch a recording of the presentation and start making your own personal health care plan.
The webinar also reviewed the five MA Planning documents and provided a handy conversation guide, ‘5 Things to Talk About with Your Care Providers.’ Attendees learned how to update their plan and add other planning documents.
Before watching, we recommend you download and print the free Getting Started Tool Kit, which includes a Health Care Proxy, Personal Directive (Living Will), and ‘I Have a Health Care Proxy’ Wallet Card. Make sure to print single-sided if you want to fill out the forms or cut and fold the wallet card.
Watch the webinar recording now and take the first step towards taking control of your health care.
