The Louisiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST) Coalition is partnering with local, state and national health care organizations to provide education about advance care planning for National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD).Observed annually on April 16, NHDD is an initiative that encourages people to have open discussions with loved ones about their health care wishes and to document those wishes in writing.
In recognition of NHDD, here are links to special resources to further promote community awareness about advance care planning in Louisiana.
