Do you have a health care directive? Does it clearly indicate how you want to be cared for in an emergency? What happens if something bad happens and you can’t speak for yourself? Do you know your rights when it comes to treatment at the hospital? These are important questions to consider. Join us for lunch and let’s talk about it.
