Why Advance Directives Don't Work and What to Do About It

In the last 60 years society has learned to deal with important medical decisions that confront older adults and their families. Join CJE SeniorLife for a discussion on the disconnect between what happens at the bedside and what your wishes are. Take charge of your own destiny.

Appetizers at 6:30 p.m. followed by a presentation by Dr. Maurice Pickard from 7 to 8 p.m.

This event is part of the Transition to Wellness Educational Series on Positive Aging For Consumers and Professionals. 1.0 CEU or contact hour will be awarded to social workers and nurses for this program.
