Published on September 14, 2018
Essentia Health is offering the public the opportunity to learn more about advance care planning. These classes will help educate people on advance care planning, the kind of care you would want if you became seriously ill or injured or unable to speak for yourself.
“Advance care planning is not simply filling out an advance care directive, it involves talking to patients and their chosen decision-makers, and making sure their goals, values and beliefs become known through a very rich discussion. We then need to ensure these discussions are accurately recorded in the medical record, and that these wishes are followed,” says Dr. Jonathan Sande, an oncologist/hematologist at the Essentia Health Cancer Center in Duluth and the director of Advance Care Planning.
Classes will be held:
St. Mary’s Medical Center Auditorium, 407 E. Third St., 2nd floor
Essentia Health-West Duluth Clinic, 4212 Grand Ave.
Essentia Health-Hermantown Clinic, 4855 W. Arrowhead Road
