How to Discuss End-of-Life Care:
Ensuring Your Wishes Are Known
with Author Chris Palmer
Tuesday, February 27, 2:30 pm - 3:45 pm


We can’t plan for everything. But we can have “the conversation” (and keep talking) with our loved ones and doctors about our wishes for care and comfort through the end of life. If held correctly, “the conversation,” can bring us closer to important people in our lives. This can also create the foundation of a care plan that’s right for us—so our wishes can be understood and respected when the need arises. This can also unburden our loved ones from guessing our preferences. It’s also important to complete an advanced directive and choose what’s known as a health care agent—someone who would make health care decisions on our behalf if we became unable to voice those decisions for ourselves.


This program is made possible by an Advances in Aging grant offered by Suburban Hospital to Little Falls Village. Our presenter, Chris Palmer, is generously donating his time.
