About the program…
The Ohio Health Care Power of Attorney and the Living Will Declaration are commonly drafted as part of the estate planning process. However, what do these documents really mean? How and when do they go into effect? What do the medical terms “terminal condition”, “permanently unconscious state”, “life sustaining treatment”, and “DNR order” really mean? What happens without these documents? The panel will discuss theses issues and the practical implementation of health care directives from both the legal and medical perspectives.
