National Healthcare Decisions Day brings attention to the importance of advance care planning. Encourage employees to document their healthcare preferences, complete advance directives, and discuss them with loved ones and providers. Clear planning ensures that important decisions are aligned with personal values if one becomes unable to speak for themselves.
