What should I do with my advance care plan once I've completed it?

You should keep originals of your advance care plan documents in an easily accessible place (not in your safety deposit box or under lock and key). Do not resuscitate (DNR) orders should be openly seen—place them on your refrigerator or bedroom door. You can give a copy of these documents to your healthcare provider, family/loved ones and people named in your durable power of attorney for healthcare. It is important to keep in mind that if changes are made in your plan, any copies you have would also need to be updated.
