Advance Directive - A Guide For Health Care Decisions Rutland Community Collaborative Sponsors Free Webinar
Rutland - Advance planning can bring peace of mind. Detailing your loved one's health care desires. Leaning how to create your own advance directive. These are the goals of the Rutland Community Collaborative's second free webinar, "Advance Care Planning for Peace of Mind" on Thursday, January 13, 2022 from 5:00-6:30 pm.
During the discussion and Q&A, a panel of local experts will walk through the process of creating an advance directive and discuss the importance of this valuable and caring document for yourself, a relative or friend.
The panel includes:
Eva Zivitz, MSN, RN, CHPN from the Palliative Care Program at Rutland Regional Medical Center
Cynthia Stadler, MSN, APRN, CHPN from BAYADA Home Health Care
Jessica Greco, LICSW from VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region
So, what is an advance directive? An advance directive documents the name of the person who you would like to make health care decisions for you when or if you are unable to make them yourself. The directive also gives instructions about what type of health care you want or do not want.
The Vermont Ethics Network has created an online document, Vermont Advance Directive for Health Care, that provides further details and instructions on how to fill out an advance directive. Download the document before the webinar and come prepared with questions.
Sign up now for the Rutland Community Collaborative's free webinar "Advance Care Planning for Peace of Mind" on Thursday, January 13, 2022 from 5:00-6:30 pm. If you have questions about advance directives contact Andrea Wicher at awicher@chcrr.org.
