Writing in The Salt Lake Tribune (4/15/19), Chad Bittner, MD explains the need for an Advance Health Care Directive. April 15-19 is national health Care Decisions Week.
It is very important to have conversations with family about end of life wishes and now is the time; not tomorrow, next week, or sometime…. Fewer than 30% of Americans have tackled this task.

• Discuss
• Decide 
• Document

Choose an advocate who can speak for you and express your wishes for care when you are unable to do so.
Talk with your advocate and doctor about your wishes.
Write it down.
Give copies of your health care directive to your advocate, doctor and family members.
