Dr. Susan Nelson, an NPPTF Board Member from Louisiana, recorded the video message below in anticipation of National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). NHDD is April 16th and is designed to encourage individuals to make their advance care planning wishes known and to raise awareness of advance care planning. Although Dr. Nelson describes programs specific to Louisiana (such as LaPOST), her broader message is true for people in all states. Find out what programs are available in your state and make your wishes known on April 16th.
