Representatives from Hospice of Davidson County will present an educational program at 10 a.m. and will be on hand through 12 p.m. for one-on-one assistance in completing your advance directives. Services, including a notary, will be provided at no charge to Davidson County residents. Special thanks to Wellcare and Mt.Vista for their sponsorship of this program.
Advance directives are legal documents that outline your preferences for medical treatment in the event of serious illness or injury. They also allow you to appoint a healthcare proxy to make decisions on your behalf. Understanding and completing these documents is a vital step in proactive healthcare planning.
No registration is necessary. For more information, call 336.242.2290 or email dcsslex@davidsoncountync.gov
