No Cost Health Care Planning Program

IHCWV has partnered with Iris to offer a Health Care Planning program at NO COST to you. All you need is a referral from one of our providers and Iris will contact you to schedule a planning appointment.

What is Health Care Planning?
Health care planning, also known as advance care planning (ACP) is an ongoing process that supports individuals and their family individuals in understanding, and sharing their values, goals and preferences for future medical care.

These care decisions are then formally documented within an advance directive (AD), a legal document that ensures one’s care wishes are followed.

With Iris, the comprehensive healthcare planning process is led by a skilled healthcare facilitator who helps you:

• Understand your future medical care options.
• Identify the options that are in line with your hopes and wishes.
• Discuss your choices and preferences with your loved ones and care team.
• Write a plan that meets your needs, goals and values.
• Do all of this without having to leave your home by phone or video conference.

What are the benefits of Health Care Planning?

• Reduce Family Burden
• Express Goals and Preferences 
• Make Important Decisions
