Posted

End-of-Life Education will have a guest speaker on Monday, Aug. 19, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. using the Ruby Sisson Library’s large meeting room. If you would like to bring cookies, coffee and tea will be available.

Dr. Joanna Estes will share relevant information from her experience of being an MD and dealing with death. 

She will share the medical perspective of end-of-life care. She will detail the procedure involved in utilizing MAiD CO. She will also distinguish between hospice and palliative care. Then, she will answer all of our questions. This may be a very important talk that you won’t want to miss.

If you have never come before, feel welcome to join us. We have been meeting for six months, but participation varies for each speaker and time. 

End-of-life can be a difficult topic which seems to be better handled when we join together to deal with it. Most people find that topics like this are actually empowering and helpful for living life to the fullest.
