St. Tammany Health System’s Palliative Medicine program has announced the continuation of its Advance Care Planning and Education Walk-Up Workshop series in 2025.
This series is designed to help community neighbors learn the steps needed to communicate their wishes about their medical care before they are faced with a serious illness that might result in the inability to communicate those wishes with loved ones.
“When an advance care plan is in place, the decision-making burden is lifted from your family members because of your thoughtful care and preparation,” said Dr. Farah Ali, director of Palliative Medicine Services at St. Tammany Health System. “These workshops are one more way St. Tammany Health System provides compassionate care to our community — and one more way we’re bringing world-class healthcare close to home to our Northshore neighbors.”
Attendees of the workshops will receive assistance in preparing living wills and related documents on-site at no charge.
Save the dates for the following workshops for the first half of 2025. All are free and open to the public.
