If you haven’t already, take time to help your 20 loved ones understand the medical quality of life that you want so they can confi dently make decisions for you should the situation ever arise. Advance care planning is the process of talking about what kind of care you want in critical medical situations. This is done by young and old, but diff ers slightly based on the phase of your life. If you are healthy and independent, advance care planning focuses on naming a healthcare surrogate to speak for you if you become unable to do so.
