Have a say in your future medical treatment

Larimer Advance Care Planning is a collaborative effort funded by NextFifty Initiative, with contributions from the Health District of Northern Larimer County and community partners, to engage and support individuals in completing advance care plans at no cost.

Our vision is that advance care planning becomes a natural and expected part of care in our community. We want adults to feel comfortable discussing their future medical treatment options and expressing their values with their loved ones and medical providers, ensuring that medical directives are available when they are needed.

The Health District is proud to partner with UCHealth's Aspen Club, UCHealth Medical Group, Palliative Care Team at UCHealth, Larimer County Office on Aging and Sharing the Care Campaign to enhance advance care planning in our community.

For Individuals & Families

You never know what the future holds. Who would make your medical decisions if you were unable to speak for yourself?

The Larimer Advance Care Planning Team can guide any person, 18 and over, in creating and properly sharing your advance directives to ensure you have a say and a plan for future medical treatment—all at no cost.

We can guide you in:

  • Sharing your values and wishes with your loved ones
  • Putting your plan in writing and sharing it with your family and physician
  • Understanding life-sustaining treatments
  • Choosing treatment options you would want or not want should you be diagnosed with a life-limiting illness
