End of Life Planning and Care

End of life planning and care encompasses many issues including creating advance directives, hospice, organ donation and bereavement.

The MedlinePlus End of Life Issues below, that provides links to each of these issues.

Advance directives, also known as Living Wills, provide instructions to your doctors and loved ones as to what kind of medical procedures and life sustaining measures you desire in the event you are unable to communicate your wishes.

Separate links on advance directives are offered below including the New York Online Acess  to Health that directs you to state-specific resources, a Toolkit from the American Bar Association that provides ten user-friendly tools to walk you through the process, and the U.S. Living Will Registery®, a commercial resource, which for a fee, stores your documents for you and makes them available when needed.
