What is End of Life Planning & Why Is It Important?

End of life planning is a proactive, thoughtful process where you make decisions about the care and services you wish to receive in the final stages of life. It can include:

  • Choosing your preferred palliative care options

  • Appointing a healthcare proxy

  • Creating legal directives

  • Addressing emotional and spiritual needs

Why is end of life planning important? Because it gives you control, protects your wishes, and relieves your loved ones of uncertain decision-making during emotional times.
