"You are the most amazing heroes, and the entire country and world owes you our deepest gratitude for all of the work that you are doing to beat COVID-19."

According to Elder Law Associates PA Partner Ellen S. Morris, Esq., "As a way to thank healthcare workers personally, we want to make sure that they have the documents that are necessary – a designation of healthcare surrogate and living will – to enable another individual of the person's choosing to make healthcare decisions if they're unable to make it for themselves, and also to provide direction to family and physicians as to their feelings about being kept alive with heroic measures."
