Beyond helping individuals start discussions with family, caregivers and medical professionals, the document is unique because it addresses the medical, personal, emotional and spiritual needs of care at the end of life. Individuals attending this free presentation will receive a complimentary copy of Five Wishes®, as well as learn more about how to fill-out the document. To RSVP, please call Avow at 239.354.7081.
