University of Memphis Continuing Education Classes on Advance Care Planning: Jane Owen, MSN, APN-BC, CHPN, will teach a University of Memphis Continuing Education course on the U. of M. campus. Jane is an Advance Practice Nurse in Palliative Services for Methodist LeBonheur Healthcare and a Comfort Care Coalition board member. The course is entitled The Advance Care Planning Process. Regardless of your current age or health, thinking about and planning for end-of-life care is a difficult but necessary thing for all of us to do. Without an advance care plan, someone other than you will be making decisions about your life. With a care plan, you and your loved ones can talk about and make many decisions before choices must be made. Take four hours to learn about what Advance Care Planning is and why it is important; what the laws of the State of Tennessee allow you to do; and the myriad issues that must be considered when making an advance care plan, including treatment issues, organ donation, and quality of life. Don't leave these decisions to chance. Take charge of your future. The class fee of $34 includes all forms and materials.
