Who will make medical decisions for you if you are unable to speak for yourself? Have you appointed a Health Care Agent who can do this for you? Did you know that in the state of Vermont, your spouse is not necessarily the person who would be chosen to speak for you?

Come and discuss these questions, and more, when Deborah Wesley, RN, CEO of Addison County Home Health and Hospice and Stephanie Corliss, LICSW visit NBM. We will also discuss whether Advance Care Planning documents completed in another state are valid in Vermont, whether there are any special considerations if you or your loved one develops dementia and whether you should complete a COLST form with your primary care provider.

National Healthcare Decisions Day is April 16. Join us on April 17 5:30-6:30pm in the Community Room at the National Bank of Middlebury, 30 Main Street in Middlebury and we will get you started on Advance Care Planning, or help you increase your knowledge. Making your loved ones aware of your wishes is one of the best gifts you can give them!

All are welcome and thanks to generous donors, this program is available free of charge. Please RSVP to Kimberly Richards 802-388-1632 or krichards@nbmvt.com
