ADVANCED CARE PLANNING COVERED BY MEDICARE

Guests:   Janet Bollig, M.S.S.W. and Outreach Manager; Laura Hunt, Social Worker, Home Health United



End of life may be elusive, but it is something each of us will face.  Now Medicare is covering the cost of physicians having the conversation with their patients to discuss getting the care they want and need, not only for the end of their lives but also as they advance with their complex and serious conditions.  Home Health United is a provider of care in the home including hospice services and offers a continuum of care from skilled services to palliative care to hospice care.

On this program, Janet Bollig and Laura Hunt update us on the life cycle options available for health care today to help us make educated decisions on the care we want and need throughout the entirety of our lives.

Home Health United will also be presenters at Mid-West Family’s Healthy Living Expo, Sunday, March 6, from 10 am - 3 pm at the Madison Marriott West.  Free to the public, the EXPO will feature fun activities and educational opportunities for all ages - including a Cooking Stage with samples and meeting and moving with world-renowned Tae Bo Fitness creator, Billy Blanks.  For more information, go to madisonhealthexpo.com.
