Advance Care Planning is not reserved for those who are sick or elderly. Rather it is important for all those 18 years or older to begin the ongoing conversation with loved ones. Making your own choices regarding your healthcare decisions is the kindest gift you can give to your family. Join us for this bilingual presentation as Dr. Debra Turiano, MD and Dr. Sandra Cardena, MD share important information on what an advanced directive is, how to best use it and how to begin the conversation with your family.  Included with the presentation will be the opportunity to ask questions related to healthcare options as well as receive free information packets on how to prepare a healthcare proxy and other important documents that best convey your wishes. Presentation is free and open to the public. NO RSVP REQUIRED. Any questions please contact Debbi Scionti at 987-620-1415 or email debora_scionti@mihcs.com
