National Healthcare Decisions Day exists to inspire, educate and empower the public and providers about the importance of advance care planning.
National Healthcare Decisions Day is an initiative to encourage individuals to express their wishes regarding healthcare and for providers and facilities to respect those wishes, whatever they may be.
LeadingAge Ohio joins in these efforts to educate consumers on the importance of advance care planning.
The decisions a person makes regarding their healthcare and treatment preferences at the end of life are extremely important. While living wills and advance directives are vital, the conversations around these decisions and choices are also crucial. We recommend completing these forms and viewing the Living Will and Health Care Power of Attorney documents as tools for having meaningful advance care planning conversations with your healthcare provider and family members.
Choices: Living Well at the End of Life is an advance directives packet that consists of resources to help you plan for end of life care. Included in this packet you will find the following official advance directive forms and detailed information:
