Peace of Mind Planning for an Elegant Exit is an advance directive that goes beyond medical wishes and also addresses personal, emotional and spiritual needs. It allows individuals to express their preferences for care and designate a person to make health care decisions on their behalf if they are unable to do so. The class is designed to help people prepare for the possibility of illness and incapacity.

This is a series of weekly Zoom classes lasting 4 weeks starting April 22 and ending May 13, at 6 PM – 8 PM PDT (7-9 PM MDT, 8-10 PM CDT, & 9-11 PM EDT). NOTE: Registration closes 4-20-2025.
