Values in Care is an independent research and educational project serving patients, families, caregivers, clinicians, chaplains, and other care partners. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, reviewed by, or representing any employer, health system, payer, religious institution, interfaith body, or other organization unless a specific relationship is explicitly documented.
Educational decision support only. Values in Care does not diagnose, recommend a treatment, provide emergency care, or replace individualized medical, legal, or spiritual advice. Clinical decisions belong with the person and the appropriate treating team.
Nothing about a person's identity, faith, culture, disability, family role, or diagnosis substitutes for asking what they want. Tradition and worldview resources provide context for questions, not treatment instructions.
Preparation entries may be stored on your device. Do not enter health information in contact or feedback forms. See the Privacy notice.
Need urgent support? Help Now. In a U.S. medical emergency call 911; for suicide or emotional crisis support call or text 988.
