Workshop Description:

A medical crisis like cancer could leave you unable to communicate your own health care decisions. Planning now for your future health care can help ensure you get the medical care you want and that someone you trust will be there to make decisions for you. Please email your questions to the email above so Ken and Katie can discuss specifics you want to hear about.
