National Healthcare Decisions Day

by | Mar 28, 2022 | Advocacy, Blog

National Healthcare Decisions Day (HNDD) takes place on April 16 each year to educate and motivate our community about the importance of documenting your healthcare wishes.

Now more than ever with our current health crisis, people are thinking about the care they would want if they became seriously ill. You and your loved ones can have peace of mind by placing your healthcare wishes in writing by using documents called “advance directives.”

Advance directives should be completed by everyone 18 and older to help healthcare providers and family members know what type of health care you would like in the case you were unable to speak for yourself.

Join us for a free session to learn about advance care planning options, designating a healthcare agent, completing a document, and where to go for more assistance.

“Before the workshop I knew nothing. After the workshop, I’ve learned the necessity of it… and what a joy and gift to give this to my family.”

A conversation today about the care you want tomorrow!

Thursdays, April 21, May 19, or June 16, 2022

10 – 11:30 a.m.

Join us by phone or online via computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Space is limited. Registration is required. Call ADRC at (920) 448-4300 to register.

When thinking about falling, it can be helpful to consider the process of walking. We are not born walking and it is perfected only after a LOT of practice. Now let's throw a wrench or two into the process - gravity and aging! Both are going to happen, and as we age,...
