It's National Healthcare Decisions Day: Who will speak for you?
/This is the day you need to talk to your family about their "advance care" plans.
It's April 16, or National Healthcare Decisions Day.
Advance care plans are what we used to call end-of-life care plans. Whatever you call it, it's important to make your wishes known to your family and those who you may want to look after your wishes.
If you are in Connecticut, consider stopping by the Capitol Building in Hartford for a panel discussion led by Qualidigm CEO Tim Elwell and a multi-interdisciplinary panel of state, national, community and health care leaders. The event is at noon on Wednesday, April 16.
Millions of Americans have yet to plan their medical, personal, emotional and spiritual needs for their final life-stage.
If you are one, who will speak for you if and when you cannot speak for yourself?
