National Healthcare Decisions Day

The Louisiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST) Coalition partners with local, state and national health care organizations to provide education about advance care planning for National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD),

Observed annually on April 16, NHDD is an initiative that exists to inspire, educate and empower the public and providers about the importance of advance care planning. Click here for more information on how patients and families can become more proactive with their health care decisions.

It’s also important to remember that having these thoughtful discussions with your family and documenting your wishes can be a gift to your loved ones. In recognition of NHDD, special resources for promotion of community awareness and advance care planning for both consumers and providers are available.
