Event Details

Dave Kampfschulte has worked in the hospice field for 38 years as a volunteer and educator. Spend a thoughtful and entertaining session with him as he relates his experiences of interacting and initiating conversations with patients and their families at the end of life. In addition, getting your affairs in order, advance directives, and planning ahead will be discussed.   You will leave with unexpected new insights about a subject that is usually avoided at all costs, but one we all must face, both for ourselves and our loved ones. Get a glimpse of how others have handled it walking the path before you. You might just be pleasantly surprised.
