Community Outreach — Advance Care Planning
- Does your family know your wishes?
- How do I start a conversation about end-of-life issues?
- Have you completed your Advance Care Planning?
CACCC reaches out to the community to bring end of life education to the Chinese American Community. We provide Advance Care Planning information sessions and workshops for various community groups. We attend health fairs, conferences, conventions and all other events to educate and create awareness.

California Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD)
An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) allows you to state what kind of healthcare you want if you ever become very sick and are unable to speak for yourself. This way, those who care for you will not have to guess what you want if you are too sick to tell them yourself. This easy-to-read, easy-to-understand form was created for people with limited reading skills and skilled readers alike who read Chinese or Chinese and English.

California POLST Form
POLST is a physician order that gives patients more control over their care during serious illness. Produced on a distinctive bright pink form and signed by both the physician and patient, POLST specifies the types of medical treatment that a patient wishes to receive towards the end of life.
This is a Chinese translation of the California POLST form. The translated form is for educational purposes only to be used when discussing a patient’s wishes documented on the POLST form. The signed POLST form must be in English so that emergency personnel can read and follow the orders.
For questions email info@coalitionccc.org or call (866) 661-5687. To learn more about POLST, visit www.caPOLST.org.
