SP-Planning for End of Life: Stay in Charge

As we age, life’s circumstances invite and push us to accept our mortality. Many of us worry about losing control at end of life, but there are things we can do that will help us stay in charge. This 45-minute presentation discusses your rights and options at end of life, including Medical Assistance in Dying. Being informed will give you greater control over your health care and will help you to communicate your preferences to your physician and family.

Talking about death won’t kill you; in fact, it just might extend the quality of your living.

The presenter will be Kerrie Hale. Kerrie became involved in the Calgary Chapter of Dying With Dignity Canada shortly after its inception in 2012. She watched her father disappear gradually over a 10-year period due to Alzheimer’s and is passionately committed to improving access to Medical Assistance in Dying for those people, like her father, who wanted MAID but couldn’t access it.
