How to choose a health care decision maker
Source: SeriousIllness.org
National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16, a day when all Americans are encouraged to complete or review their advance directive.

That person becomes your “medical power of attorney.”
Your family member should have an advance directive. So should you!
