National Healthcare Decisions Day

April 16, 2015 by TRU Community Care

NHDD 2015TRU Community Care, along with other national, state and community organizations, are highlighting the importance of advance health care decision making – an effort that has culminated in the formal designation of April 16 as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD).

As a participating organization, we are providing information and tools for you to talk about your wishes with your family, friends and health care providers, as well as executing written advance directives. These resources are available at www.nhdd.org.

As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their health care decisions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known. Fewer families and heath care providers will have to struggle with making difficult health care decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient.

Advance care planning allows consumers to make medical care decisions by considering those decisions ahead of time and letting others know about their end-of-life care decisions.

For more information about National Healthcare Decisions Day, please visit www.nhdd.org. You can also contact us for more information on advanced directives by calling 303.449.7740 or emailing info@trucare.org.

National Healthcare Decisions Day 2015

April 9, 2015 by TRU Community Care

We invite you to join us in this years National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th. This date was purposely chosen to illustrate the point about the two inevitable things in life: death and taxes. We are often unaware of the multitude of decisions that may come into play if we are suddenly stricken by an accident or illness.  Having documents and understandings in place that help our loved ones support our choices is critical, both legally and personally.

Advance Directives…

  • Allow you to retain control over what happens to you
  • Empower your loved ones with clear directions
  • Help medical personnel understand what you want
  • Support your loved ones in being able to focus on what is most important.

There are Starter Kits and advance directive documents available online, or you can visit the exhibits at Boulder Community Health and Longmont United Hospital between the hours of 11am-1pm. For more information on the importance choosing a decision-maker and having a conversation, please visit www.nhdd.org.
