Bethany Village – Richard D. Rife CenterMechanicsburg, PA
Inspiring Community Conversations (ICC) facilitates conversations about end-of-life wishes and advance care planning. Conversation will be inspired through a free screening of “Consider the Conversation” and a game called “Hello!”, a surprisingly lighthearted game about living and dying well. The event will provide a comfortable way to explore what can be a difficult topic. The afternoon is a combination of two very different approaches – a 60-minute documentary or a 60-minute game. Each guest will be able to choose one or the other.
ICC is a collaborative program offered by Penn State Health, Highmark, Bethany Village, and Hospice of Central PA. Special thanks to Highmark and Penn State Health for providing the funding needed to offer this program at no cost to our community!
Advance registration is required. A free lunch will be provided for all registered attendees. To register, please call 717-732-1000 or email cmessinger@hospiceofcentralpa.org
