Anniversary of Terri Schiavo Death Reminds Us of Need for Advance Directives

March 23, 2010

Making plans for what we would like done in the case of a life-threatening health care crisis is not something most people wish to think about.

Had she put her wishes in writing, perhaps the hurt her family still feels could have been avoided. (eMaxHealth)
