Please join staff from Disability Rights New Jersey, along with Ryann Siclari from Central Jersey Legal Services, as we discuss the varying options for advance care planning as it relates to healthcare decisions.

While always prudent, advanced healthcare planning and decision-making about minor children is more important than ever during the COVID-19 crisis to ensure that your own wishes are carried out should it be necessary. We will also provide a brief overview of NJ's new medical rationing policy and exceptions to hospital visitation policy for individuals with disabilities and designated support persons. 

What Will Be Covered:

• Advanced directives 

• Healthcare proxy options

• Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form and what is involved

• Standby guardianship for minor children
