Where to Start
End-of-life care planning can be confusing, so our Partner Health Current compiled all the documents you’ll need in the State of Arizona to complete your plans. They’ve also added some helpful resources for having the conversation with loved ones, as well as legal resources.
Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry
Once you have completed your advance care plans, you can upload them to the Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry. This will enable healthcare professionals to access your wishes when they are needed.
