Who We Are

Our goal at Vital Decisions is to ensure that every individual experiencing an advanced illness receives care that is highly aligned with their quality of life priorities and values. Reaching this goal optimizes the quality and value of care that is delivered during this time in an individual’s life.

Too often, clients don’t receive the care they want during an advanced illness because they aren’t comfortable talking about their priorities and values with physicians and family members. We strive to change this pattern by specializing in innovative Advanced Care Planning programs that are humanistic, collaborative and personal. We utilize behavioral science to engage and empower clients to better plan for the future by identifying their quality of life values and priorities and becoming more active in integrating these priorities into their medical decisions, both now and in the future.

We believe that when our client’s preferences are understood, they can be honored.
