The pandemic has taught us many lessons over the past year – from the importance of support from our families, friends and community, to the value of technology to keep us connected, to the necessity of prioritizing our mental and physical wellness. It also brought into sharp focus the need to ask yourself a difficult but essential question when it comes to your health: Who will make decisions about my care when I can’t? This year, National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th affords a timely opportunity for reflection. Whether you are 18 or 88, Hope Healthcare encourages all adults to designate your health care surrogate, discuss the care you want or don’t want with your family members, and document your plan to ensure your end-of-life wishes are respected.
