Putnam County Hospice and Palliative Care Association (PCHPCA), along with other national, state, and community organizations, is leading the effort to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making—an effort that resulted in April 16 being designated as National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD).  As a participating organization, PCHCPA provides information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with loved ones and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare representative and living will) in accordance with Indiana state laws.

Putnam County Hospice and Palliative Care Association (PCHPCA), announces a free advance healthcare planning (ACP) Lunch and Learn Series of workshops, that will take place on the second Wednesday of each month from Noon to 1 PM via Zoom.  PCHPCA Director, Elaine Peck, said she hopes attendees will enjoy the opportunity to have their questions about advance healthcare planning answered while enjoying the comfort and convenience of their home or office. 

The first ACP Lunch and Learn session is scheduled for Wednesday, May 11 from noon to 1PM.  Register by email to contact.us@pchpca.org to receive a Zoom invitation and instructions.  Call (765) 301-7614 for additional information.
