NNV Board Members Monica Knorr and Linda Lateana will walk you through the documents necessary for making your health care wishes known in the case of an emergency or prolonged illness. Monica and Linda will review the File of Life, MOST form, and the My End of Life Wishes workbook created by Compassion and Choices.

This two-part program is designed to help introduce the documentation, provide opportunities to fill out forms, answer questions, and provide follow up support. 

Please plan to attend both sessions:

• Monday, November 3rd, 11 am
• Monday, November 10th, 11 am
