Last updated

Share Print

ACP-GV engages Veterans, caregivers and those they trust in advance care planning by facilitating a group discussion that elicits personal experience(s) and encourages participants to identify a 'next step' to take in the process of planning for future health care needs.

VA sites can implement quickly with resources available on the ACP-GV SharePoint site: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/VHAadvance-care-planning-via-group-appointments

Community partners can learn more on the VA Social Work website: https://www.socialwork.va.gov/ACP_GV.asp
