In recognition of National Healthcare Decisions Day, which is Sunday, Hospice of Northwest Ohio reminds the community of a program that provides free, guided conversations by trained facilitators in the completion of advance healthcare directives.
Through a series of questions, these conversations will consider cultural, spiritual, and religious beliefs in completing written advance directives including living wills and selecting a health care power of attorney.
Healthcare decision conversations can be done by appointment only in-person, via phone or video chat. To make an appointment with a certified facilitators, call 419-931-5423 or email [email protected].
April 16 has been designated as National Healthcare Decisions Day since 2008. NHDD is a day set aside to encourage everyone, whether or healthy or coping with a serious illness, to think about, discuss and document healthcare wishes. These conversations take about an hour and can be repeated as often as necessary as situations, goal or values change.
