THE COST OF DYING IN AMERICA: ARE WE MAKING INFORMED DECISIONS?

In Saint Paul, not too far from Hamline University, Gloria Dei’s Faith and Health Ministry will host its 3rd Annual Forum on Health Care on Sunday, January 15, 2012 at 6:30 PM:  The Cost of Dying in America: Are We Making Informed Decisions?

This year's panelists are Steven Miles MD physician and bioethicist at the University of MN and Dave Moen MD, Medical Director of Innovative Care Models at Fairview Inc.  The moderator is Mark Hallberg, Attorney at Law.  Mary Jo Hallberg, the Parish Nurse, will discuss the unique role congregations can play in having conversations about life and death, quality of life, and how a person's faith informs end of life decisions.  This event is free and open to the community.  I plan to attend.
