Today is National Healthcare Decisions Day—a reminder of the importance of making healthcare decisions ahead of time to ensure that your wishes are known and respected when it matters most. If you haven’t already, take a moment today to review your healthcare directives and make sure they reflect your current wishes, or discuss how to create them with your healthcare provider if you haven’t yet started. https://hubs.li/Q03hgYJv0
