Advance Care Planning Class (In-person)
Planning for your future healthcare is an important step toward making sure your preferences are clear if you are unable to speak for yourself, or family members are making medical decisions for you. Advance Care Planning involves considering your desired outcome ahead of time and clearly communicating with your family and healthcare providers. These types of decisions are documented in an Advance Directive. Advance Directives ensure patients avoid unwanted procedures, provide clear guidance to health care providers, and reduce the likelihood of a dispute among family members.
Join us to learn about Advance Directives, why they matter, and how to engage your family with these important conversations.
Diabetes Education Class (In-person)
The Diabetes class is designed for patients with a new diagnosis of diabetes, those needing a refresher course, and family members looking to support a loved one with diabetes. This class is in-person.
