Advance Care Planning Workshop
None of us want to think about it, right? But at some point in the future, we all may face a situation where important decisions must be made
about our healthcare, but we are unable to speak for ourselves. Or perhaps this has happened to a loved one. Are you prepared?
Come to this workshop at the Benson Center for Active Aging to learn how to get your ducks in a row. This will be an informative workshop about advanced care planning, healthcare, proxies, legal paperwork, and will include an interactive exercise that will clarify your thoughts.

Hospice, Palliative Care, and the Art of Living Well at the End
