Advance Care

seminar at Neill

Neill Public Library will partner with Friends of Hospice for an Advance Care Planning seminar tonight, Aug. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the library’s Hecht meeting room.

Advance care planning is a process designed to help identify the level of medical care desired should one become unable to speak or act for oneself.

The event starts with "Being Mortal," a documentary film featuring Dr. Atul Gawande and the hopes of patients and families facing terminal illness. The one-hour film will be followed by a group discussion.
