Make a Health Care Plan

Today, April 16th, is National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). Founded in 2007 by health care attorney Nathan Kottkamp, this day serves to “inspire, educate and empower the public about the importance of advance care planning.” While it is a topic that many prefer not to contemplate, advance health care planning can help ensure the care you receive aligns with your wishes. Advance health care planning can also help make a very difficult time a little easier for family members or others who must determine what the best course of action is for you in a medical emergency.

Our recent webinar on advance health care directives provided an approachable and entertaining introduction to this topic. We were fortunate to have Dr. Mark Lachs, renowned geriatrician and physician-scientist in the field of aging, as well as co-founder of CompassCare, LLC., as our special guest speaker. Dr. Lachs’ presentation was titled “Everything you ever wanted to know about Advance Healthcare Directives but were afraid to ask.”

Don’t forget to revisit your plan
As we always caution clients when crafting an investment strategy, it is important to review your plan regularly. Your situation and your preferences change over time, and your feelings about health care treatment when you were 40 may be markedly different when you are in your 50s, 60s, or older. If you do change your directives, don’t forget to keep the appropriate individuals involved and informed.

Here for you
Health care decisions can be difficult and emotional to make, but advance planning can help you and your loved ones prepare for the future. We hope you will turn to us for any assistance you may need.
