Wellington Cares will host its inaugural luncheon at noon on Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Wanderers Club in Wellington.
National speaker Dr. Stuart Bagatell will be the keynote speaker. Bagatell is a proponent of Physician Orders of Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), a movement that began in Oregon in the early 1990s.
“Dr. Bagatell has spearheaded the approach to end-of-life planning that emphasizes patients’ wishes about the care they receive,” Wellington Cares Executive Director Kathy Foster said.
The luncheon will be informative and entertaining while attendees hear about this concept that is new to Florida. In addition, all in attendance will receive a gift bag worth more than $100.
Individual luncheon tickets are $50 per person and sponsorships start at $1,000. For more info., call (561) 568-8818 or visit www.wellingtoncaresorg.com.
Wellington Cares is a not-for-profit organization committed to coordinating volunteers of all ages to assist in enabling those over the age of 65 to remain in their home with the support of the Wellington community and local organizations.
