Campaign: Be A Hero, Make A Plan

Let's Make It Easy to Talk about Care Planning

Does your emergency contact know how to care for you in the event you can no longer advocate for yourself? By making a care plan, you will always have a voice in your care.

Care planning is as important as signing-up for health insurance. A good care plan will give you and your loved ones clear directions on what to do in the event you get sick or injured. 

The goal of our Be A Hero campaign is to normalize care planning for everyone, especially patients, caregivers, young adults and under-resourced populations. If you’re reading this, then this campaign is for you, your loved ones and friends, too.

Take Action

Our Be A Hero, Make A Plan campaign takes place every April, but care planning is important always. Here are actions you can take right now to help yourself and others make a care plan.
