Graceful Journey: A Workshop about Making End of Life Decisions

- Experiences with death and making healthcare decisions for other
- Envisioning your own end-of-life journey (wishes, hopes and concerns)
- Common treatment choices that often need to be made
- Barriers to starting the discussion with family and strategies for overcoming these barriers
- Selecting a healthcare agent
- Preparing a healthcare directive
This two-part Evening Workshop on Advance Care Planning will be offered:
- Monday, October 7: Starting the Discussion – 7:00 to 8:30 PM
