  How has your background or culture/heritage shaped how you show up in this work or view Advance Care Planning? 

In Asian Indian Culture, We don’t have much awareness about Advance Care Planning. Since working here and becoming more familiar with Advance Care Planning and I think it would be better if my relatives and everyone less familiar had more knowledge on the subject.

I worked in healthcare in the past, but Advance Care Planning wasn’t a topic I was familiar with, and it seemed like an interesting opportunity.
