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. This year, the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils is offering a complimentary webinar presented by MIDEO Health to educate all of you on the newest state of the art Patient safety technology called MIDEO (My Informed Decision on VidEO).  On this National Day, let’s not just do advance directives.  Let’s safely create advance directives and connect clients with medical services that could take care of them throughout both Wellness and Serious illness.
