This week is National Palliative Care Week. In 2025, National Palliative Care Week is asking a simple yet powerful question: “What’s your plan?” This theme challenges and inspires individuals and families to think about their own future and quality of life, make informed choices, and decide how they want to be cared for. Only around 29 percent of our community have an Advance Care Directive in place. This is one of the most important documents to ensure that loved ones and health providers know what matters most and respect those treatment preferences. When it is in place it can significantly reduce the stress and trauma at the time those decisions are required. This is not just for the elderly, anyone over the age of 18 should have an Advance Care Directive in place to plan for the unexpected.
