Advance Care Planning

KOON provides Advance Care Planning to help patients and families prepare for future healthcare decisions in a thoughtful, respectful, and personalized way. This service supports patients in communicating their values, preferences, goals, and wishes regarding their care, especially in situations where their illness may progress or they may become unable to express their decisions clearly in the future.

Advance Care Planning is a collaborative process involving the patient, family, and healthcare team. Through open conversation and deep listening, KOON’s team helps patients and families understand possible care options, clarify priorities, and make decisions that reflect the patient’s personal values and quality-of-life goals.

This planning may include discussions about treatment goals, symptom management, preferred place of care, emotional and spiritual needs, family involvement, and future medical decisions. The purpose is not to remove hope, but to create clarity, reduce uncertainty, and support care that is aligned with what matters most to the patient.

For families, Advance Care Planning can help reduce stress and emotional burden when difficult decisions arise. It allows loved ones to feel more confident that the care provided is consistent with the patient’s wishes. At KOON, this service is delivered with compassion, sensitivity, and respect for each individual’s beliefs and circumstances.
