SUMMARY:Calling All Caregivers Virtual Event: End-of-Life Options
DESCRIPTION:When contemplating your ultimate demise\, it’s obvious that many things are beyond your control. There’s no way to know what will ultimately pave the way to your final exit. However\, that doesn’t mean you should abdicate all responsibilities related to your ultimate ending. To do so could likely lead to a very distressing situation for you\, your family\, and your medical team. Thus\, you and yours are much better served by considering the future “what ifs” and your medical preferences. Furthermore\, reflect on what truly makes life worth living. What constitutes an acceptable quality of life? Upon answering the question\, share your reflections with those responsible for your care. Your preferences will lay the groundwork for an exit strategy that serves all concerned quite well. \nNovember 12\, 2025 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nSpeaker: Jane W. Barton\, MTS\, MASM\, CSA \nTo Register\, email CardinaLife@msn.com noting your name\, zip code\, the program name\, and date. Once registered\, a link to\nthe Zoom event will be provided as well as a call-in number.

SUMMARY:Colorado Lunch and Learn: Brain Health with Jane Barton
DESCRIPTION:When discussing the process of aging\, the focus is often on the physical aspects of aging – internal and external changes. Granted\, to age well\, we must be proactive in sustaining and maintaining physical wellness. In like fashion\, cognitive health is equally as important. However\, fewer people are proactive about their cognitive health. This is due in part to a lack of understanding as to what is required to stay cognitively sharp. So\, let’s take some time to ponder the naturally occurring cognitive changes associated with the aging process. Then\, we’ll explore the various ways we can maintain (if not enhance) our cognitive well-being. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED. Click on the LINK to register.
