Crucial Conversations: Planning for Serious Illness, End of Life & Death

✨ We invite you to design a future that works for you.
Connie Jorsvik is an independent healthcare navigator, advocate, and educator with Patient Pathways. She supports adults and families as they journey through serious illness.
Christa Ovenell is a licensed funeral director, end-of-life doula and death educator with Death's Apprentice Education & Planning.
Their work intersected so often that they have become a collaborative team, passionately educating the public about planning ahead for decisions that need to be made during illness, at the end of life, and even after death.
Topics for Discussion Purposes:

• What is a healthcare navigator, and how do they fit into the healthcare team?

• What do I need to think about as I start planning ahead?

• What is an end-of-life doula, and how do they fit into the healthcare team?

• What other decisions need to be made when someone dies besides cremation or burial?
