Palos Community Hospital to offer Advance Directives Class

Advance directives are important for all adults, not just the elderly.  

Palos Community Hospital is offering a free class from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, to explain the details.

Serious illness and death aren't easy to discuss, but you can make it easier by having a living will and other advance directives in place. Put your loved ones at ease by making your wishes known regarding such treatment efforts as resuscitation and life-support.

This class will held at the hospital, 12251 S. 80th Ave., Palos Heights. Topics include the Illinois Power of Attorney for Health Care (short form), Illinois Department of Public Health: Uniform Do-Not-Resuscitate Advance Directive form, and the Living Will.
