April 16 – A Timely Reminder to Plan for the Unexpected

​ [[{"value":"

New Bedford, Massachusetts – As National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD) approaches on April 16, 2025, Surprenant, Beneski & Nunes is encouraging individuals and families to take time to reflect on their future healthcare preferences and document their wishes through advance care planning. 

National Healthcare Decisions Day is a nationwide initiative designed to inspire, educate, and empower the public and healthcare providers about the importance of advance directives. In moments of crisis, having clear, written instructions in place can spare loved ones from confusion and ensure that medical care aligns with your values and priorities. 

“Advance care planning is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your dignity and ease the burden on your family,” said Daniel M. Surprenant, Esq., managing partner of Suprenant, Beneski & Nunes. “National Healthcare Decisions Day is the perfect reminder to have those conversations and make your wishes legally known.” 

To mark National Healthcare Decisions Day, we encourage you to:

• Talk to your family about your wishes
• Choose a trusted healthcare agent
• Complete or review your advance directives
• Store your documents where they can be easily accessed
• Consult an attorney to ensure your plan complies with the law.
