Thoughtful life conversations
Discussing and documenting wishes for future medical care
Whether you’re in the prime of your life or in the throes of a serious illness, having thoughtful life conversations about future medical care that’s right for you should you become unable to speak for yourself, is the first step to ensuring your values and personal preferences will be honored.
Having these thought-provoking conversations—and then documenting them for healthcare providers to access in real-time—ensures your wishes are honored in most every possible medical situation. Expressing exactly what medical treatments you want, and very importantly, the ones you don’t want, saves friends and family members from stress at a very sensitive time should you become incapacitated or too frail to make decisions.
Give your family and loved ones a great gift. Plan today for your healthcare tomorrow.
Our mission and vision
Empowering Arizonans to have their wishes honored
The Thoughtful Life Conversations (TLC) mission is to empower Arizonans to make their life wishes and healthcare directives known so that their final days are spent exactly the way they were meant to be spent—according to their wishes. The second priority is to equip healthcare teams with the resources to honor these decisions.
Each of us is responsible for opening the door to having thoughtful life conversations that foster this kind of control over our medical care should we not be able to voice our preferences ourselves at the time.
TLC’s vision is for Arizonans to have thoughtful life conversations that result in healthcare wishes and goals being honored by loved ones and medical professionals. In turn, Arizonans receive care that aligns with their values and personal preferences toward the end of their lives.
TLC is a program of the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association.
