Advance Care Planning Workshop
• Wednesday, March 29, at 1 p.m.
• Mary Alice Warren Community Center, Vienna Room

Do you have a health care power of attorney assigned? Do you have a living will? Learn about the purpose and importance of having advance care planning in place. Advance care planning is a process to help your loved ones know how to speak for you if you are ever unable to make your own medical decisions. Such instances can include if you undergo surgery, get a serious illness or are injured in an unexpected accident. A representative from Trellis Supportive Care will present and provide the necessary documents for you to assign a health care power of attorney and create a living will. They will also provide guidance for filling out these forms during the program. Registration is recommended. Register by emailing Sue at deguzmse@forsyth.cc or calling the Lewisville Branch at 336-703-2940.
