National Healthcare Decisions Day April 16

HAVE YOU HAD THE CONVERSATION? 

What if you have an accident or illness that takes away your ability to speak for yourself?

  • Have you talked to your loved ones about your wishes regarding health care choices? 
  • Do they know what you would want if you cannot make your own health care decisions?

In observance of National Healthcare Decisions Day, April 16, 2012, the Missouri End-of-Life Coalition and its partners ask you to think about these questions, and do the following:

  • Talk with your family and loved ones about your wishes.
  • Don’t leave these important decisions to strangers.
  • Designate someone to be your voice.
  • Make your voice heard when you can no longer speak for yourself!

Join us in helping get the word out about this important issue.
