When Serious Illness Strikes . . . and Decisions Have To Be Made
This very practical program focuses upon sharing knowledge with respect to the important decisions that have to be made when illness occurs. This program brings a panel of experts on halachic considerations, ethical wills, medical challenges, legal and financial matters, and family support services to your community. Serious illness can occur at any age, and the more information the family has, the better they will be able to handle the many challenges they will encounter.
