National Healthcare Decisions Day is Tuesday, April 16

By Doug Hogan

Frankfort, KY - The Department for Aging and Independent Living (DAIL), within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), is helping lead efforts to highlight the importance of making end of life healthcare decisions now, while you can, before it's too late. Various community, state, and national organizations are involved in the promotional campaign which has designated Tuesday, April 16, as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD).

"As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community are having thoughtful conversations about their healthcare decisions and making their wishes known," said Shannon Gadd, Commissioner for the Department for Aging and Independent Living. "By having these discussions, you are giving your family a gift by not having to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions."


The Cabinet has produced a video news story on this topic. It is available on the CHFS Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kychfs. Additional information, including an "events near you" section, is available at the Cabinet's homepage: www.chfs.ky.gov. Simply click on the National Healthcare Decisions Day icon. The National website is: www.nhdd.org.
