Getting Your Healthcare House in Order

Authors, Peacock & Christensen developed "Getting Your Healthcare House in Order" for the African American Community. This book provides a road map for those who are not sure where to begin the conversation and those who are further down the road of advance care planning. A person’s beliefs about life, death, and healthcare are intensely personal and complicated. To try and argue with these perspectives is usually pointless and can be disrespectful. Some of the perspectives characterized in this book may resonate personally. Some might be recognizable in friends or family members. Others may spark the question, “Who could think such things?” The philosophy of this book is to “take what is” and find ways to work with that belief for the best healthcare experience possible. Healthcare is not a one-size-fits-all situation. “Getting Your Healthcare House in Order” is here to help you think through your choices strategically without asking you to change who you are.
