Legal and Medical Decisions to Consider Now

Join us as we partner with Cone Health, AuthoraCare Collective, The Elderlaw Firm & HealthTeam Advantage to celebrate National Health Care Decisions Day, an initiative to encourage people to express their healthcare wishes through all the proper channels and for providers to respect those wishes. This special event will include presentations from Risa Hanau, LCSW, Clinical and Community Educator with AuthoraCare Collective, Elderlaw Firm Attorney Dennis Toman & Angela Lewis-Myers, LCSW with Cone Health. Attendees will also receive resources from The Conversation Project to share with patients and loved ones for end-of-life planning.

A notary will be onsite, so be sure to bring your photo ID.
