Inspira Medical Center Woodbury Hosts Free National Healthcare Decisions Day
Inspira Hosts Free National Health Care Decisions Day Event April 14
Event encourages you to discuss your preferences for end-of-life care
Inspira Medical Center Woodbury, in partnership with Bayada at Inspira, will host a free event in recognition of National Health Care Decisions Day on Saturday, April 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. in Dining Rooms A and B at Inspira Woodbury. The goal of National Health Care Decisions Day is to empower the public as well as health care providers to start the conversation about preferences for end-of-life care, regardless of age.
Join Americans across the country in making your future health care decisions known to family, friends and health care providers. Proactively making these decisions gives the gift of clarity to yourself and to your loved ones in the event you become unable to speak for yourself.
Starting at 9 a.m., guests can enjoy continental breakfast while they visit information tables staffed by Bayada, Inspira L.I.F.E., Inspira Oncology, Gift of Life, Brightview Assisted Living and more. At 9:30 a.m., a 20-minute film documentary will be shown detailing the touching story of Evan Mayday. The documentary shows how one health care team worked together with Evan’s family to collectively grant Evan’s last wishes despite their own desires and fears. The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion about Advance Care planning:- Sharon Heath, Palliative Care nurse coordinator, Inspira Woodbury
- Kathleen McDevitt, director of Palliative Care, Bayada
- Pastor Hal Russell, Spiritual Care director, Inspira Woodbury & Elmer
- Jenna Bertino, social worker, Inspira Woodbury
- Bibbin George, M.D., hospitalist, Inspira Woodbury
The program will take place in Dining Rooms A and B located adjacent to the cafeteria at Inspira Medical Center Woodbury, 509 N. Broad Street, Woodbury. For more information call 856-575-4218 or e-mail events@ihn.org.
