A free virtual two-part series presented by MJHS Hospice and Palliative Care. This program is designed to help you think about and plan for your future health. You will learn to navigate the healthcare landscape and empower those you trust most to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you can no longer speak for yourself. Planning ahead helps prevent crisis decision making and allows for peace of mind, enabling you to share quality time with those you love.
