On this 10th anniversary of National Healthcare Decisions Day, the Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association and our members urge individuals all across the commonwealth to take an active role in their care, wherever they are in their healthcare journey. Informing loved ones and care providers about your goals and values related to your care is an easy and important first step.  The video below provides some simple and straightforward information on getting started.
