Five Wishes Living Will
Five Wishes-Living Will – Presented by Jean Osuch & Rich Miller-Murphy
Wednesday, September 23 from 1:00 – 2:00 PM
In-Person ONLY. Registration required at our website.
Join us as Jean Osuch and Rich Miller-Murphy discuss how Five Wishes can help you and your family as well as who should use it and why. The Five Wishes is the first living will (also called an advance directive) that helps facilitate personal, emotional, and spiritual needs as well as an individual’s medical wishes, allowing an individual to say exactly how they wish to be treated if they become seriously ill. This program will help guide a person (and their family) by providing examples.
All community members who register for the program will receive a complimentary workbook and instructions for use. There is no charge for this community education program.
