March 31: Terri’s Day

Terri’s Day is observed on March 31 to honor the life of Terri Schiavo, who became the focal point of a national debate regarding end-of-life care after a medical event left her in a persistent vegetative state. Established by the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, this day aims to raise awareness about patient rights and the dignity of individuals facing similar health challenges. Common customs for celebrating Terri’s Day include organizing community vigils, hosting discussions about end-of-life care, volunteering at local hospices, and fundraising for organizations that advocate for patient rights. Participants are encouraged to share personal stories online to foster conversations about healthcare choices. The day serves as both a tribute to Terri and a call to action for improving protections for vulnerable patients.
