Prepare for National Healthcare Decisions Day 2017

National Healthcare Decisions Day exists to inspire, educate and empower the public and providers about the importance of advance care planning. For 2017, NHDD will be a week long event, from April 16 to 22. The overall theme for 2017 is "It always seems too early, until it's too late."

In all respects, NHDD is inclusive and brings a variety of players in the larger healthcare/legal/religious community together to work on a common project, to the benefit of patients, families, and providers. NHDD is not prescriptive; it allows for and fosters creativity. A key goal of NHDD is to demystify healthcare decision-making and make the topic of advance care planning inescapable.

Join the outreach team on February 15, 2017 at 3:00 pm EST for a National Healthcare Decisions Day Webinar.
