Though we don’t like to think about it, a change in health or an accident can happen to any of us. That’s why it’s important for all of us – regardless of our age or health – to talk with the people who matter most to us, just in case there comes a time when we cannot speak for ourselves. Join us in learning and discussing together how to start this conversation.
