Advance Care Planning Program

Event Information

Hunterdon Health in collaboration with Courtyard Luxury Senior Living, Bratton Estate and Elder Care Attorneys, and Martin Funeral Home will host a special event about Advance Care Planning.

The community is invited to join a panel-led discussion with: Dr. Christopher West, Medical Director of Palliative Care, Hunterdon Health, Elaine Vostrovsky, MSN, RN, CCDS, Director, Care Coordination Hunterdon Health, Christopher Knoll, Director of Funeral and Cremation Services Martin Funeral Home, and Charles Bratton, Esq., Managing Attorney Bratton Estate & Elder Care Attorneys.

Inspired by National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), which exists to educate and empower individuals about the importance of advance care planning. The program will include conversation, resources, and refreshments. 

According to a national survey conducted by the Conversation Project, 92% of Americans say it’s important to talk to their loved ones about end-of-life wishes, but only 32% have done so. Understanding and advocating for your personal wishes before a serious illness or an emergent situation arises is incredibly important. Additionally, it is an invaluable gift to give yourself and your loved ones.
