FARMINGTON – Western Maine Palliative Care and Hospice Coalition will offer a public informational program on the use of advanced medical directive documents as part of an ongoing series on end-of-life care.
The program begins at 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2, at Trinity United Methodist Church and is part of the coalition’s continuing series on issues relating to end-of-life care.
Ed David, a lawyer, and Diana White, RN and a University of Maine at Farmington professor, will discuss the importance of completing this document that provides specific instructions for medical care in the event of a terminal illness, accident or other life-threatening event.
Advance medical directive forms will be available free for participants, who are advised to discuss and complete the form with their personal physician. Participants are also welcome to bring family members to this event to assist them in understanding the directive.
The program is free and all are welcome. The series will continue on Nov. 9 when presenter Rhonda Wiles, funeral director and bereavement specialist, will discuss bereavement issues. Marriott Churchill, pastor and hospital chaplain, will conclude the series on Nov. 16 with a discussion on faith perspectives.
