National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th exists to inspire, educate and empower the public and providers, like River View Health & Rehab Center, about the importance of advance care planning. There is a theme for every day during this week with ideas and resources to help you plan activities for your Center, your staff, and your community.

Advance care planning involves making future healthcare decisions that include much more than deciding what care you would or would not want; it starts with expressing preferences, clarifying values, identifying health care preferences, and selecting an agent to express healthcare decisions if you are unable to speak for yourself.

National Healthcare Decisions Day is a collaborative effort of national, state, and community organizations committed to ensuring that all adults, with decision-making capacity in the United States, have the information and resources to communicate and document their future healthcare decisions.
