Personal Medical Emergency Preparedness Planning
These services help Medical Members take steps to prepare for medical emergencies to increase their chances of having their personal medical wishes respected, and safely obtaining emergent medical care. This includes helping clients understand the tools they have available to make their medical care wishes known, evaluating any personal risk factors that increase their likelihood of injury or experiencing a medical error when being admitted to the hospital, and having holistic, honest discussions about the limits of health care and how people want their values to inform their care. My ultimate goal is to help ensure my clients and their families obtain the best care and outcomes possible if a medical emergency arises.
