Program Description: Following on the heels of April’s Lunch & Learn program with Kate DeBartolo of The Conversation Project, the presentation and discussion with Dr. Sarah MacDuffie goes into more depth about the kinds of decisions that you or your loved ones may encounter should you become seriously ill.
