National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), celebrated every year on April 16th and across the month of April, encourages people to begin or continue conversations about their wishes for care through the end of life. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of advance care planning (ACP). Looking for ideas to plan or promote NHDD in your community? We’ve gathered some inspiring ideas from individuals and groups across the country to help you think about what you might do for those in your personal, social, or community circles.
Join us on social media across March as we help the general public plan ahead, by giving them tools to help them make their wishes known. Simply re-share what we send out via Facebook, Instagram, and in our newsletters. Or, create your own content using our latest communications toolkit with ready-made messages and images you can use and adapt as you wish. And, as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD) is just around the corner on April 16th, we hope this content will help you plan ahead for NHDD.
“The Conversation Project emphasizes having a conversation on values — what matters to you, not what‘s the matter with you.”
