Do you have a relative or loved one who is nearing the end of life? We often plan for the milestones in life--college, marriage, children and retirement. And, yet, we neglect to plan for the end of life since it’s not always an easy topic to face. Appointing a Health Care Agent and filling out an Advance Directive are two easy steps that you can take now to ensure that personal care wishes are known. By taking these important steps, you can focus on what matters most when time becomes short. The first step is having a conversation.

On Wednesday, October 19, from 1 – 2:30 PM, Emily McKenna from Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice, will be at the Waterbury Public Library to discuss this very topic. She will show a short video, “Nine to Ninety”, and offer information and education on the simple steps you can take right now to facilitate conversations with family members and loved ones and begin the advance-care planning process.

This event is free and open to the public. Please call the library to register at 244-7036.
