Cornerstone VNA Offers FREE Webinar on Advance Directives

Rochester, NH – In recognition of National Healthcare Decisions Day on April 16th, Cornerstone VNA is offering a free “lunch and learn” webinar for community members on the topic of Advance Directives. The webinar will be held on Tuesday, April 16 from 12:00-1:00pm. Learn how to inform family, friends, and health professionals about the kind of health care you want and who will make decisions for you if you are too ill to speak for yourself by using legal documents called advance directives. This special webinar will be presented by Cornerstone VNA Social Worker, Anna Shultz, LICSW, CMC, who will help attendees learn the types and resources available to get their advance directives completed.
