End of Life Decision Making by Dr. Tortora

Thank you to all the many community members who attended this year’s installment of the free educational presentation “End of Life Decision Making” with Dr. Giulia Tortora from Homer Medical Center, local Estate Planning Attorney Lindsay Wolter, and Hospice of Homer Death Doula Morgan Laffert! These amazing professionals gave their presentation on end-of-life planning covering living wills, medical power of attorney, legal and medical decisions, and emotional considerations. For those of you who could not attend in person, or just want to watch again, we are happy to provide this recording, as well as the slides and handouts.
