National Healthcare Decisions Day
April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day. It's a day to focus on legal and medical directives in case of emergency. To no surprise lots of us don't want to think about death and dying. But guess what? If you ignore it, it won't simply go away. Learn about of some the different documents and directives and the importance they play in life and death for you and a loved one. For more information and to access downloadable living wills/advance directives or a healthcare power of attorney, check out the following websites:
