Excerpt from: NAELA (click for full article)
National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), along with other national, state, and community organizations, is leading a massive effort to highlight the importance of advance health care decision-making—an effort that has culminated in the formal designation of April 16 as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). As a participating organization, NAELA members provide information and tools for seniors and individuals with special needs to talk about their wishes with family, friends, and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare power of attorney and living will) in accordance with state laws.
