Come complete your Advance Care Directive for Health Care with the guidance of an End-of-Life Doula. Often referred to as a "living will", advance directives for health care are a legal document that allows individuals to express their wishes regarding medical care if they become unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. Even if you have a completed Directive, this is a great chance to revisit and update it!

Death Café is an opportunity to begin the dialogue about death. This is not a support group - rather a judgment-free environment where participants, often strangers, can openly engage in an "all things death and dying" conversation.
