Let's Get Uncomfortable: Advance Directives

Compassion & Choices volunteer presenters, Summit Care Partners, and other end-of-life professionals 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:
What happens after a bad medical diagnosis?
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.
