Description

In this week's episode, Matilyn interviews Mindy Rickard, the Advance Care Planning Team project coordinator for Larimer County, Co, about how to create an advance healthcare directive. Everyone over 18 should have this document to ensure that someone they trust would have the legal power to make medical decisions for them if they were unable to do that for themselves. While creating this document can seem overwhelming, Mindy provides some great resources for getting started.
