Our Advance Care Planning Workshops

Opportunity to Get It Done! Join us at our community Advance Care Planning workshops to complete your Advance Directive for free!

  • It is an important legal form that helps your medical team and loved ones know and respect your health care decisions in the event you have a medical emergency or are seriously ill and cannot speak for yourself.

  • Any adult over 18 years of age. We invite you to extend the invitation to the person who you think may be your representative in health care matters.


    • Why is advance health care planning important?

    • Who can be your representative in health care matters and what is their role?

    • Options and explanation of life-prolonging treatments: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ventilator, feeding tube, and dialysis machine

    • One-on-one help from experts who can answer any additional questions you have and who will help you complete the form in its entirety

Our One-on-One Advance Care Planning Services

Use our personalized services to complete your document now! We have trained and qualified volunteers to help you complete and legalize your Advance Directive (MyCare).

  • Trained facilitators are available to help all community members complete their MyCare Advance Directive via one-on-one appointments at their residence, our offices, or out in the community.

  • We will coordinate the use of a notary free of charge, in cases of financial need, to legalize the Advance Directive.

  • Our team will submit completed documents to Cottage Health to be entered into your medical record. We also provide you with copies to give to loved ones, physicians, and others.
