"Advance Directives"

by Linda M. Gorman, R.N., M.N., C.N.S.-B.C., O.C.N., C.H.P.N.– About Linda Gorman

One important lesson learned in recent times is the need to put our end of life wishes down in writing–and make sure our loved ones know what we would want. This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn about end of life choices and will review legal procedures, forms and documents to help ensure your wishes are followed. Resources to assist in this process will also be presented.

"For Caregivers Only "

Come hear an expert in caregiving speak about how to take care of yourself while caring for your loved one. This session will encourage frank discussion among caregivers about the worries and issues they face while providing support and encouragement that will help them care for themselves. Note: We respectfully ask that patients not attend this topic.
