Learn more about advanced directives at Parkview Whitley Hospital on May 1
Submitted by Tricia Hennessy
Rev. Ann Lantz, Director of Chaplaincy Services at Parkview Hospital, will present a program about advanced directives at Parkview Whitley Hospital on Thursday, May 1, at 1 p.m. in the lower auditoriums. This free program will be presented during the May Seniors Club meeting and is open to the public.
Advanced directives are spoken or written directions about future medical care or treatment and can help ease the burden of tough decisions at the end of a life. They come into effect when a patient can no longer communicate their wishes due to illness or injury.
During the presentation, Rev. Lantz will discus the four main types of directives, including living will declarations, life prolonging procedures declaration, appointment of a health care representative and power of attorney. There will also be a time for questions.
If you would like to attend this presentation, reservations are appreciated at 1-800-325-1338 ext. 89900.
