Person-Centered Care Planning
Your Goals. Your Values. Your Plan.
What is Person-Centered Care Planning?
Person-centered care planning is a collaborative process that ensures your medical care aligns with your personal values, health goals, and what matters most to you. It involves meaningful conversations between you, your care team, and your loved ones to create a care plan that reflects your priorities, now and in the future.
At Supportive Medicine Specialists, we believe that everyone deserves to be heard and supported in making informed, thoughtful decisions about their care.
