National Healthcare Decisions Day

HOSG Encourages You to Plan for the Future Now

Did you know that Friday, April 16th ,  is National Healthcare Decisions Day?

As Benjamin Franklin said: “Nothing in life is certain but death and taxes!”

Unfortunately, when faced with a serious medical event, there can be too manyuncertainties.

Advance healthcare planning lets you decide what actions should be taken for your health, in the event you are no longer able to make decisions due to illness or incapacity.

Regardless of your age or health, the time to consider your healthcare decisions is now.

Have a conversation with your family, friends, and healthcare provider so they can honor your wishes if the time comes to do so.

For a free guide to healthcare decisions, or if you have questions about end-of-life care, call Hospice of South Georgia at 249-4100, or 1-800-HOSPICE.
