National Healthcare Decision Day - April 16th

National Healthcare Decisions Day is coming very soon and time is running out to order special Five Wishes , both the custom and special NHDD versions.

We're already hearing about plans for community workshops, distribution of Five Wishes in workplaces and places of worship, proclamations from governors and local elected officials, and other efforts to raise awareness about advance care planning. Some have already had success in attracting media attention, like this story that aired last night in Baltimore. Those buttons that you see in the news story are the ones specially printed for NHDD. We're happy to offer free promotional resources to support your outreach, so please make sure you contact us to let us know how we can help. Also tell us what you are planning for NHDD so we can highlight your good work.

We'll be at events in Denver and Las Vegas in the days leading up to April 16. The beauty of National Healthcare Decisions Day is that so many of us who encourage advance care planning are doing so together at the same time. Our message comes through loud and clear when there are more voices. Thank you for using this opportunity to provided important information and resources to those whom you serve!

Thank you to Paul Malley of Aging with Dignity and Pam Vingle for providing this wonderful information.
