Each year, we ask our network of community champions to share emerging ideas or plans in the making for promoting National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). Celebrated every year on April 16th and across the month of April, NHDD encourages people to begin or continue conversations about their wishes for care through the end of life.
Take a look at what 14 amazing champions of conversations are planning and see if any spark ideas! We hope this helps you think about what you might do for those in your personal, social, or community circles.

“The Conversation Project emphasizes having a conversation on values — what matters to you, not what‘s the matter with you.”
