Celebrate National Healthcare Decisions Day: Plan for Your Future

Published On
April 16, 2025

April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), a day to empower individuals to reflect on and communicate their healthcare preferences. At BrightStar Care of East Orlando and Lake Nona, we stress the importance of making informed decisions as you navigate health changes.

NHDD promotes open conversations about your wishes, easing stress for you and your family during critical times. By creating advance directives or living wills, you ensure your voice is heard, even when you can't speak for yourself.

Steps to Guide Your Planning:

  1. Reflect on Your Values: Consider what matters most in your healthcare.
  2. Document Your Wishes: Create advance directives or living wills.
  3. Communicate Openly: Share your preferences with loved ones.
  4. Revisit Regularly: Update your decisions as life changes.

BrightStar Care of East Orlando / Lake Nona is here to support you in navigating these important choices. Celebrate NHDD by taking proactive steps toward a more informed future. For assistance with home health care services, contact us today!
