The fifth-annual National Day of Decision (NHDD) is set for April 16. Started by the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), this is a day set aside for individuals and families to have some open and honest dialog about advanced directives. Put more simply, it is a day to think about one’s wishes concerning medical treatment or non–treatment at end of life.
NHPCO created this day to bring awareness to the need for making informed decisions while an individual is in good health and can reasonably discuss their choices for care, caregivers and decision makers on their behalf. Choices surrounding end of life can be difficult and thought provoking, yet certainly worthy of our time. Across our country hospices will hold information sessions, events and open forums where questions can be asked and answered both openly and honestly about advanced directives.
