April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day, a day where you can make
your future healthcare decisions and wishes known to family, friends and
your healthcare providers.
Your decisions matter.
Use your voice.
End-of-life situations can occur unexpectedly, with no time to make
your wishes known. What if you were unable to speak for yourself?
Join Mercy Medical Center and our panel of experts, including
Hospice of Mercy Medical Director, Dr. Amanda Sommerfeldt, and
members of our Hospice Social Work and Chaplain teams to discuss
advance directives, Iowa Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment
(IPOST), and help you:
- Discover the value of advance care planning
- Learn how to talk about your future healthcare decisions
- Understand how to document your healthcare decisions using
advance directives
