National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys Supports National Healthcare Decisions Day (April 16)
For 2017, NHDD will be a week-long event, from April 16 to 22.
Washington, DC — The
National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) is once again supporting
National Healthcare Decisions Day, a movement to “help people across the U.S. understand the value of advance healthcare planning.”
NAELA members take part in this annual event by providing information and resources to seniors, people with disabilities, and their families on executing documents such as health care powers of attorney and living wills in accordance with state laws.
“National Healthcare Decisions Day reminds families about the many resources available to them and makes it easier to follow through with critical conversations on health care decisions with their loved ones,” said NAELA President Catherine Anne Seal, CELA, CAP.
To receive a free NAELA brochure: “Questions and Answers When Looking for an Elder and Special Needs Law Attorney,” contact Communications Manager Abby Matienzo by
