CONWAY — Death is as much a part of life as birth, but in the workplace, the topic of death and dying is not often discussed. Yet it is as much of an issue for employers to address as any other part of life that impacts their employees. That’s why Visiting Nurse Home Care and Hospice of Carroll County is focusing their National Healthcare Decisions Day efforts this year on outreach to area businesses and employees to raise awareness on the importance of advance care directives.
Taking place on April 16, National Healthcare Decisions Day exists to inspire, educate, and empower the public and providers around the importance of advance care planning. It is an initiative to encourage patients to express their wishes and for health-care providers to respect those wishes, whatever they may be.
