Do you know what happens when you call 911?
On Thursday, March 19, and again on April 16, members of the emergency medical team who respond to such calls will be meeting with people in Pagosa Springs interested in finding out more about what can happen.
On those two days, End of Life Education will be meeting at 1 p.m. We will all be working together to create a program of education about emergency medical services.
It is very helpful if you know what services can be offered and if you know what to expect if you call. This is the time do-not-resuscitate forms need to be available.
We will meet in the Community United Methodist Church fellowship hall at 434 Lewis St. There is a nice parking lot with a side door that enters the kitchen and then the meeting room. The front doors to the church are locked.
If someone wants to bring a treat to share, that would be great. Coffee, about 10 different teas, hot chocolate and other hot drinks will be available. We will visit informally for about 10 minutes until everyone is comfortable.
The program being presented by the emergency medical people should last about an hour. When they are done, we will spend about 30 additional minutes planning what other programs we should have this year with End of Life Education.
End-of-life education is difficult, but just as we planned other events in our lives, this time of life can be better the more we know and the more we plan.
End of Life Education will meet with the Archuleta County coroner on April 30 at the same time and location.
I hope that you will be at these programs to make your life better. Working together can make life better, too.
