The Allegheny County Bar Association, the Allegheny County Medical Society, The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Heartland Hospice will be producing a continuing education seminar entitled

"Documenting and Implementing Patient/Client Health Care Decisions"

On April 22nd at the Bar Association Auditorium on the ninth Floor of the City-County Building.

The program will provide continuing education credits for attorneys, physicians, nurses, nursing home administrators, and social workers in a first of its kind multidisciplinary seminar which will focus on the endorsed form of the ACBA/ACMS Health Care Power of Attorney and Living Will Form that is available to all professionals and the general public for free download from the Bar Association and Medical Society websites, and the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment or POLST form, which is a physician order that implements the treatment wishes of patients and is designed to portable from one care setting to another.

I have attached two brochures one for attorneys from the Bar Association, and one from the Medical Society for health care providers.
