In June 2014 the North Shore Health Care Foundation sponsored a community forum, Honoring Choices: Completing your health care directive. Because the response was so positive, the Health Care Foundation is offering the forum again, on Tuesday, November 25 at the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic lower level classroom. The public is invited to participate from 4 – 6 p.m.
The purpose of the forum is to help people get started on filling out their health care directive.
The event will begin with a panel presentation featuring medical, legal, family and spiritual resource people from the community, followed by questions and discussion time with the panel.
Panelists taking part will be Hilja Iverson – social worker, North Shore Hospital and Care Center; Jeanette Lindgren – clinical care coordinator, Care Partners; Milan Schmidt – physician, Sawtooth Mountain Clinic; Ruthanne Vos – attorney, Mathison Law Office; and Seamus Walsh – priest, St. John’s Catholic Church.
After the program, the panelists will be available for conversation with attendees for additional information and assistance.
There is no charge to take part in the forum and all are welcome. For more information, contact the North Shore Health Care Foundation at (218) 387- 9076 or email nshcf@boreal.org.
