National Healthcare Decision Day

By Jennifer Sawday

April is the month of special days.

The day after April 15, which needs no recognition, is National Healthcare Decision Day. Does this mean that after  you sign and seal your tax return, your health takes a turn for the worse and having an Advance Health Care Directive is necessary?

For more information about this day, check out National Healthcare Decision Day website.

The National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD) Initiative is a collaborative effort of national, state and community organizations committed to ensuring that all adults with decision-making capacity in the United States have the information and opportunity to communicate and document their healthcare decisions.

At Tredway, Lumsdaine & Doyle, we prepare an Advance Health Care Directive for every client as part of their estate plan. This document is a must for everyone over the age of 18 to make their wishes known as it relates to healthcare decision making.

On April 16, think of your own wishes and get your Advance Health Care Directive put in place or updated!
