| National Healthcare Decision Day Observed |
 |
Last month marked the observance of National Healthcare Decision Day—a day to remind Americans of the importance of having advance directives or living wills. These legal documents express peoples’ wishes for medical care if there should come a time when they are not capable of making their own decisions. "The observance of this day reminds us of the importance of living wills and the importance of living wills providing accurate information," said Dr. Fred Mirarchi, an emergency room physician and author of Understanding Your Living Will—What You Need to Know before a Medical Emergency. Dr. Mirarchi explains that people die in emergency rooms every year because their living wills are misinterpreted by medical staff.
