MARS HILL NEWS
By Tomi Henderson
The Mars Hill Rotary Club met Oct. 27, 2015 at the Aroostook Health Center and the special speaker was Whitney Pinette, LSW with TAMC at the Aroostook Health Center. She spoke about the importance of people doing wills and advanced directives. This enables each person to write down their own wishes in the event they are unable to make their own decisions about their health care in different situations.
A general power of attorney is good to do, but each person also needs to do a medical or health care power of attorney. This should be completed and filed in a known place. TAMC will also copy them and make them part of their patients files. They have packets for the people that utilize TAMC medical facilities, so ask for one to take home and complete.
