As you age, it is important to plan for future decisions about your medical care and to discuss those decisions with your loved ones. Emplify Health by Gundersen highlights the value of advance care planning with Denise Nicholson, the advance care planning program manager for Gundersen.

Although not an easy conversation to have, advance care planning gives you the opportunity to have your medical wishes in writing to make life better for you and less complicated for your family.

Emplify Health by Gundersen encourages everyone over the age of 18 to consider advance care planning for how you’d like to be cared for should you no longer be able to make your own medical decisions. Contact Gundersen or your local healthcare provider to schedule an advance care planning session.
