National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16th and recognized annually each year to
educate the public and healthcare providers about the importance of advance care planning
and encourage you to have a conversation about your healthcare wishes. Join us as a group
of professionals provide expertise and education to the community about advance care
planning resources for learning and documenting your advance directive for healthcare.
One-on-one appointments will be available the week of April 15th-17th.

Learn from these experts:
– Social Worker
How to start the conversations with loved ones about your wishes and the person you want to
designate as your agent for following through on your wishes – what to think about when selecting
the person you want as your agent.
– Medical Doctor
Providing every treatment option possible vs. limit to comfort care. When a patient’s wishes are documented, they can be followed by the provider and family. When the patient’s wishes are not documented, these can create difficult scenarios for the provider team and family. Families can struggle to come to an agreement which can impact medical cost, legal fees, family emotions, and quality time with family if near end of life.
– Chaplain
Honoring spiritual and other wishes and preferences during a time when end of life nears.
– Elder Law Attorney
Legal scenarios when these documents are not in place
