Mayo Clinic Minute – Creating an advance directive for your future well being

By ACA | April 13, 2024

No one can predict the future, but putting together an advance directive can bring you peace of mind and a plan for your medical care during an emergency or end of life.

Dr. Maisha Robinson, chair of the Palliative Medicine Department at Mayo Clinic in Florida, advises people to have these conversations with family members and loved ones. She also says you should create the document before becoming critically ill when things can become more difficult — physically and emotionally.
