Those attending learned about healthy aging and prevention in Appalachia from AMOREM's own Dr. Hannah Stewart. She was joined by Dr. Kate Callahan, who addressed optimizing health and function as we age, as the day’s second keynote speaker. These experts will kick off the two-day conference on Thursday, May 15, which is sponsored by AMOREM, which serves a 12-county region with hospice and palliative medicine services.

AMOREM team members attending the conference included (l to r) Cierra Wilcox-medical social worker, Dr. Hannah Stewart, Jody Davis-lead CNA, Lorie Fidler-volunteer coordinator and Katie Joplin-medical social worker.

Advance care planning is a process to help your loved ones know how to speak for you if you are ever unable to make your own medical decisions. It is planning for the unexpected.

AMOREM, formerly Burke Hospice and Palliative Care and Caldwell Hospice and Palliative Care, partners with Thrive, formerly the Caldwell Senior Center, to offer an advance care planning workshop at no cost to the community on the second Thursday of each month. The next workshop will be held June 11 at 1:30 p.m. at the Thrive in Lenoir.

Advance Directives: Living wills and healthcare powers of attorney are gifts to your family. Deciding, discussing and documenting your healthcare wishes helps ensure your healthcare wishes are known and honored. It also gives you peace of mind that you have made appropriate preparations. Notaries and witnesses will be available to help anyone who wishes to complete their documents at the workshop.

Space is limited and registration is required. For more information, or to register, call 828.758.2883.
