Prepare a living will while healthy, experts say

Even if they are in good health, Canadians should create an advance care plan or a living will — and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and Saskatchewan Cancer Agency want to help.
April 16 is National Advance Care Plan Day. Health officials in Saskatchewan are encouraging people to form a living will to provide guidance about their health care when they can’t articulate their wishes. This includes whether or not to use life support, resuscitate or only use medication to control pain.
