Make your wishes official. Free program to help with Healthcare Directive Tuesday, February 15

The next Healthcare Directive free informational program will be Tuesday, February 15, 2 – 3 p.m. at Winona Health, 855 Mankato Avenue in Winona.

Everyone ages 18 years and older should complete a Healthcare Directive. The purpose of a Healthcare Directive is to allow people to stay in control of their care, even if they lose the ability to communicate.

Creating a Healthcare Directive does not require assistance from a lawyer, but when properly completed, a Healthcare Directive is a legal document to help ensure your wishes regarding your care are carried out.

Winona Health Volunteers certified to facilitate Healthcare Directives will lead the program, provide authorized forms for residents of Minnesota and Wisconsin and offer individuals assistance to make the process easier.

Healthcare Directive programs are free and open to all, but RSVP is required. This in-person program may be limited to allow for social distancing. RSVP by calling 507.457.4342.

Please note: People must continue to wear a mask covering their nose and mouth when coming to Winona Health.
