Advance Care Planning Toolkit

Faith Community Nurses play a unique role in helping individuals and families approach advance care planning through the lens of faith, values, and compassionate care. By creating a safe space for conversations about future healthcare wishes, FCNs can help members reflect on what matters most, strengthen family communication, and ensure care aligns with personal beliefs and preferences. With many adults still lacking advance directives, this toolkit provides practical resources to support informed, respectful, and spiritually grounded discussions that promote dignity, peace, and equitable access to end-of-life planning.
