When facing the incapacity of a loved one, reliance on professionals will ensure that families receive the most accurate information about options and protection. To help family members who are caring for a loved one, Hope Hospice presents, Necessary Evils: Exploring legal and financial issues on Saturday, May 19, from 9:45 a.m. to noon. This class is offered by Hope Hospice as part as part of its Family Caregiver Education Series.
