This story from our colleague at Memorial Health is worth sharing. April is Advance Care Planning Awareness Month, and Angie Muhs' experience with her late husband Bob is a moving reminder of why documenting your wishes is such an important gift to the people you love.

Congrats to labor and delivery nurse Grace Roberts, RN, our March Colleague of the Month!
