Community Outreach Opportunity: Advance Health Care Planning Empowering the Voice of the Homeless 

Saturday, June 27, 2020 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Many homeless persons in the Santa Monica/Venice area suffer from chronic and irreversible conditions, but few are
given the opportunity to participate in their own Advance Care Planning or to complete Advance Directives. The
"Hearing their Voice" project was developed to reach out to these homeless individuals, offering Advance Directives
and other healthcare resource information and providing them with a pathway to share their quality of life goals and
wishes with healthcare providers. 

Location: St. Roberts Center 211 3rd Ave, Venice, CA 90291

Number of volunteers needed: See website
