Health Care Advance Directives Program

Types of health care advance directives include living wills and choosing a health care surrogate. The HPH Hospice organization will be sponsoring a program explaining these directives this Wednesday. Seating is limited, so reserve your place by calling Jan Double at (727) 863-7971.
