NATIONAL HEALTHCARE DECISIONS DAY

LEARN WHY ADVANCE PLANNING IS CRUCIAL FOR SUCCESSFUL AGING!

We’ll discuss the importance of having the conversation with loved ones about their end of life wishes; what to consider when choosing their agents for Powers of Attorney and what to do with the completed documents.

Do you ever wonder who will make decisions for you when you’re no longer able? Learn why it’s important to pick the right agents to speak for you and honor your wishes; someone you trust and who will advocate for you with medical professionals. Maureen Rafa will help you understand advance directives and help you start the conversation.
