“Many people know they should complete advance care planning documents but aren’t sure where to begin,” said Tasha Jones, Assistant Director of Consumer Services at Connections Area Agency on Aging. “This clinic removes common barriers by providing free legal assistance, trusted community resources, and an opportunity to make informed decisions that protect your wishes and bring peace of mind to you and your family.”
The event is made possible through the collaboration among the HSAC Aging Committee, community partners, and local attorneys, who are donating their time and expertise to assist community members in completing these important advance care planning documents.
