GEM LUNCH & LEARN -Please join us as we explore the world of advance care planning

This Tuesday 8/4 at the Baum Center @ 11:30

 

We welcome Ellie Ward, BSN, RN

Program Coordinator, Education-Community Outreach

Vidant Community Health Outreach

 

 

Please join us as we explore the world of advance care planning- that is, going through the steps necessary to create legal documents (advance directives) specifying what care you want (and don't want) that are reflective of your values and what matter most to you, so that the care you receive at the end-of-life matches your preferences.  Advance directive documents will be made available at this session, and for anyone that wishes, can be finalized on site, complete with notary seal (you must have a valid driver's license for this step).  If you have internet access, please visit http://www.vidanthealth.com/advancecare and download an advance care planning toolkit and answer the reflective questions at the front, in preparation for Tuesday's presentation and discussion.  If you do not have internet access, no worries, you will be provided the toolkit and we will go through it step-by-step as a group.

 

This program is ideally a dialogue, so jot down your questions and any concerns you have about advance care planning, so we can collectively learn from each other.
