Your wishes, values, and peace of mind, all in one document.
Advance Care Planning means making decisions now about the kind of medical care you do or do not want in the future.
Get It Done SB! provides free assistance in completing your Advance Directive, a legal document that communicates your healthcare wishes and values, even if you cannot advocate for yourself.
Our Advance Care Planning Services
-
We host free, two-part workshops to help you complete your Advance Directive. A free notary is provided and our team submits your document to Cottage Health on your behalf.
-
We offer free ACP assistance through individual appointments. An experienced volunteer is available to walk through your Advance Directive step by step.
-
We offer annual trainings for community members who would like to become Advance Care Planning facilitators and build the skills to assist individals with completing their Advance Directives.
*All of our Advance Care Planning Services, as well as the MyCare Directive, are free of charge
“Advance Care Planning is an opportunity for you to let your loved ones, your family, your friends, and your medical team know what your wishes are should something happen to you. It is perfectly normal to have fears about doing Advance Care Planning, but there is a simple and free way to do so, and Get It Done SB! can help walk you through it.”
— Shirley Strickler, ACP facilitator and retired nurse.
