Advance care planning is a process designed to assess your personal beliefs, values, and health care goals so that you can make these important decisions with more comfort and ease. This seminar will provide an overview of the ACP process, basic tools to help define your own health care choices, and communication tips you can use to help start the conversation with your loved ones. 10 to 11:30 am.
