Get the End-of-Life Care You Want @ Campbell Library

Do you have the “advance directive” that doctors’ office and hospital staff ask about?  Do you wonder if you also need a “living will” or “durable power of attorney for health care?”  Join us as Steve Corelis offers tools and expert guidance in prioritizing your wishes on this sensitive topic.  You’ll also learn practical skills for talking with family members, doctors, and friends to make sure you receive the care you really want.  Steve is a board member of CODA Alliance, a nonprofit organization that gives presentations on the importance of planning for end-of-life care.  CODA offers an easy way for families to discuss values and goals through their “Go Wish” game.  Buy a pack of cards after the talk ($10), or play for free at www.CodaAlliance.org, which also has free advance directive forms.
