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.
