  National Healthcare Decisions Day Set for April 16 web posted April 9, 2008 EDGEFIELD – Hospice Care of South Carolina, along with other national, state and community organizations, are leading a massive effort to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making, an effort that has culminated in the formal designation of April 16, 2008 as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). As a participating organization, Hospice Care of South Carolina is providing information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare power of attorney and living will) in accordance with South Carolina state laws. These resources are available at www.nationalhealthcaredecisionsday.org. Specifically, on April 16, from 10am to1pm, Hospice Care of South Carolina is welcoming the public to drop by the Lobby at the Edgefield County Hospital to obtain free information about advance care planning and advance directive forms. “As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their healthcare decisions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known,” said Laurie Robinson, Community Relations Director with Hospice Care of South Carolina. “Fewer families and healthcare providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient, and healthcare providers and facilities will be better equipped to address advance healthcare planning issues before a crisis and be better able to honor patient wishes when the time comes to do so.” ©
