Compassion & Choices volunteer presenters have been invited by Chesapeake Public Libraries to participate in their education series, Let's Get Uncomfortable: End-of-Life Conversations.
Join us for a discussion about advance directives:

Would you worry, or make your medical wishes known?
Learn what you can do now to avoid unwanted treatment and have things done your way.
