NAEPC Webinar: Patient Safety Concerns with Living Wills & Advance Directives - Complimentary Sponsored Webinar: Offered by MIDEO Health
There are two certainties in life, the first being Death and the second being Taxes. National Healthcare Decisions Day is a National Day of Conversation where Health Systems & Employers across the nation take the day and even the week to speak about advance directives, healthcare, power of attorney documents, as well as completing those documents to be part of your estate plan, and just overall health and wellness.
