As You Wish: Personalizing Advance Care Planning @ St. Mary's Hospital
May 25 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

Communication is a good thing. But what happens if you became unable to express your own end-of-life wishes and beliefs? Making your preferences known in advance can help ensure your wishes are heard even if your voice isn’t. And it’s simpler than you may think.

Join us for a free, four-part series. Through expert insight, you’ll learn what to consider, how to plan ahead and make your wishes known, and come away with a legal document you can share with your family and healthcare providers.

Speakers are: Michelle Moccia, DNP, Dir. of Senior ER at St. Mary Hospital, David Nantais, Dir. Mission and Community Benefits, St. Mary Hospital, Mark Passow, NP, Angela Hospice, Merilynne Rush, Community Educator, Angela Hospice.

Topics include:

  1. Who Will Make Choices For You
  2. Being Mortal
  3. Ethical Considerations at End-of-Life
  4. Sharing My Wishes

Flyer is here. Please help us spread the word.

Right now the only option in our county is in Milan, 20 miles away. Let’s work together to create more local choices!
