Health Care Directives

Formerly known as “Living Wills” a Health Care Directive or Advance Directive, is a vital document for estate planning. It contains a person’s wishes for end of life decisions. The Vancouver Island Health Authority has produced a document which one can obtain by calling:

Let Me Decide Advance Directives Project at 250-370-5687

The document comes with an instruction guide and a booklet, “Let Me Decide”.

The Advanced Directive gives us an opportunity to choose different levels of treatment according to our values and beliefs. It is invaluable for family members who may be faced with having to make decisions on your behalf by laying out what your wishes would be both in an emergency situation, and at end of life. It is a practical and inexpensive way to ensure that your wishes are made known to family and health care providers.

We will help you with the form if you need assistance.
