National Healthcare Decisions Day

Every day, you make hundreds of decisions. What should you wear? Which route should you drive to work? What do you want to eat for lunch? What TV show will you watch tonight? But have you thought about what type of care you want when facing a medical crisis and who will speak for you if you are unable? Nearly 70% of Americans have not.

April 16th has been designated National Healthcare Decisions Day, a day set aside to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making. This is a grassroots effort to encourage people to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers and to complete their advance directives. Take a few moments to complete yours, for yourself and for those you love. http://www.doyourproxy.org/
