Our Parish Nurse, Kathy Chase, has received an email from Dr. D. Randal Walton, Director of Pastoral Care at Centra Health. In response to the media coverage of Terri Schiavo, Dr. Walton's office has received a lot of inqueries about Advanced Directives through which individuals can state their wishes should they be incapacitated. He has provided the Virginia Advance Medical Directive form, which can be viewed and printed or saved by clicking on the link. The form is in Adobe Acrobat format and requires that the Acrobat Reader be installed on your computer.
Items for the bulletin may be sent to Ascension@ntelos.net.
