Many resources are available to help you plan for your future health care. 

Start with the provincial 'My Voice' Advance Care Planning Guide

My Voice - Expressing My Wishes for Future Health Care Treatment.

We encourage you to download a copy here, as limited printed copies are available. On Vancouver Island, single copies are available at:

• Home and Community Care Health Offices throughout the Region
• Yakimovich Wellness Centre at 1454 Hillside Avenue in Victoria
• Sunshine Wellness Centre at 375 2nd Avenue in Campbell River
• Comox Valley Nursing Centre at 615 Tenth Street in Courtenay

Due to unexpected high demand, the Ministry of Health and Health Authorities regret that they cannot fulfill all requests for hard copies of the new My Voice: Expressing My Wishes for Future Health Care Treatment advance care planning guide at this time. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and are looking into options to make more copies available. Please watch the Seniors BC "Making Future Health Care Decisions' web page for more information.
