“Let’s Talk Story,” an interactive program with Kōkua Mau, Hawai‘i’s Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, will help people start thinking and talking about how they make decisions, who should be involved, and what types of medical care they want and don’t want. It will also cover basics of advance care planning and an overview of the Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) and  POLST (Providers Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment).

Notary services will be available at the end of the presentation. RSVP required. Call the library by Friday, January 31st  to register.
