Geisa Hosts Free Session on Patient Directives and Future Healthcare Planning

An upcoming event near you in Geisa will offer guidance on patient directives, also known as living wills. The DRK Geisa Local Community is organising the free session on Thursday, October 22, 2025, at 3 PM. Organisers have encouraged people of all ages to attend, stressing the importance of planning ahead while in good health.

The information event will take place in the Gangolfisaal, with no registration required. Speakers will include Frau Michel from VDK Betreuung Fulda and representatives from the Palliative Care Team Wartburgkreis. Their talks will cover key topics such as the definition of a patient directive, its legal validity, and how to complete one effectively.

Attendees can expect coffee and cake during the event. Silvio Wiegand will also be present to provide details about the home emergency call service. The DRK has highlighted that unclear decision-making in medical emergencies can create difficulties, making advance planning essential.

The main event aims to clarify how patient directives work and why they matter. Free to attend, it offers a chance to ask questions and gather practical advice. Organisers hope the session will help people prepare for future healthcare decisions with confidence.
