    Attorneys, physicians & hospitals sponsor program to educate professionals about health care planning

    April 15, 2000 -"Life Planning 2000" workshop for attorneys, health professionals, social workers and clergy, will take place Monday, April 17, 2000, from 10:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at the Wausau Hospital, 333 Pine Ridge Boulevard. The program will encourage professionals to work together to ensure that their clients' legal and health care objectives are met. Media are welcome to attend.

    Life Planning 2000 is a statewide educational campaign developed by the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Health and Hospital Association and the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, to promote future medical planning before personal health crises arise. Wyeth Ayerst Labs provided an educational grant for the program.

    At the workshop, professionals will learn how to facilitate discussions on end-of-life planning, help people fill out the appropriate legal documents and better understand how to help their patients and clients make informed decisions.
    Other workshops will be held in Appleton, La Crosse and Madison in April and May, in conjunction with Life Planning 2000.
