National Health Care Decicions Day



April 16, 2008 

The inaugural "National Healthcare Decisions Day" was a huge success.  Continue to join Americans across the country to talk to others about your future healthcare decisions and to complete your advance directive.  National Healthcare Decisions Day 2008 recognizes your decision matters!  We encourage our collaborators to join us as participants in this ongoing community-wide effort. 

The Community-wide End-of-Life/Palliative Care Initiative has posted events from across NYS.  Contact Us and share your results.  Send us a PDF of the results from your event or  a link to your Web site were the results are posted.

I am please to share a Community Survey  that we released on April 28, 2008 that shows a large gap between a person's values and actions related to advance care planning.  After you have had the opportunity to read the Community Survey and News Release, I welcome your suggestions on how we can narrow the gap. 

The CCCC and MOLST videos are available to you at no cost for use in your community activities.  To order, Contact Us.
