National Healthcare Decisions Day (NADD) is an initiative to encourage people to express their wishes regarding their end-of life care and how it should be handled. Traditionally this is a topic we tend to avoid. So to make it easier, let’s look at it from a different perspective. Remember…
…this is not about dying, it’s about living.
Planning ahead helps you make the most out the time you have left. It empowers you to make your best decisions and takes the pressure off of others to guess what your preferences would be.
This year, NADD developed seven themes over seven days to help you start thinking about your personal decisions. Once you know what you want, the next step is how to discuss it with your friends and family. The final phase is to engage those professionals who may be involved with your care.
This movement starts on Monday, April 16th and goes through April 22nd. By participating, you’ll demystify healthcare decisions and ensure your days will be as rich as possible to the end.
