Advance care planning is an organized process of reflecting upon and discussing goals for future health care decisions. 

"It is an important part of creating an advance directive, which is a written plan that represents your individual preferences and tells others what medical care you want or do not want to receive if you become too ill in the future to tell them," said a news release.

Join Vikki Webster, trained advance care planning facilitator from the Community Health team at Penobscot Bay Medical Center, on Thursday, Oct. 10, at 1 p.m., in Rockland Public Library's Community Room if you are interested in beginning the process of filling out your advance directive.
