Advance Care Planning
Join Gabriel Newman, MSW, from the North Okanagan Hospice Society for an enlightening and thoughtful discussion about Advance Care Planning. Advance Care Planning is the process of planning, talking, and sharing beliefs, values, and desires in the case of a health care crisis where you cannot speak for yourself. An Advance Care Plan can help reduce stress for yourself and loved ones, and ensure you receive the care you desire. This presentation will go through the basics for beginning, or updating, your plan. Gabriel is an entertaining speaker who works as a Counsellor, End-of-Life Navigator and Community Program Facilitator at the North Okanagan Hospice. His background in storytelling and his passion for this work shine through in his presentations.
