End-Of-Life Care Options in Hawai’i — Creating a Heart Will
February 19, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm HST
Hawai‘i is the 7th U.S. jurisdiction to have a death with dignity statute. The “Our Care, Our Choice” act went into effect on January 1, 2019. The law allows qualified, terminally ill adult residents of Hawaii who are mentally competent and within 6 months of death to legally obtain a prescription medication to hasten the end of their life. Many patients and physicians still have questions and concerns.
Dr. Charfen will provide a safe and open forum to learn more about Medical Aid in Dying and other end-of-life care options in a non-judgmental setting at the LDW Center.
In the spirit of love, Bobbi Bryant will then lead us in writing through the voice of the heart. Sharing a heart will or love letter with those you leave behind can be one of the most cherished gifts you give. Bobbi will teach us how this simple act can bring incredible love into your life and to those you love.
The event is free, but please RSVP as space is limited. Donations are accepted, and are used to fund the center and to help our local community members in need.
