A strong turnout marked the recent success of the End-of-Life Decisions Workshop hosted by the SMC Foundation. Designed to educate the community on critical end-of-life planning, the event covered essential topics such as wills, living wills, and organ and tissue donation.

Amberlee Nix, a respected attorney and Springhill native, provided clear, practical guidance on preparing wills to ensure final wishes are honored. Her presentation helped simplify complex legal concepts and encouraged attendees to take meaningful steps toward planning.

Anita Maxwell, representing Springhill Medical Center’s administration, spoke on the importance of living wills. She explained how these documents guide medical decisions when individuals are unable to speak for themselves and offered advice on how to begin these vital conversations with loved ones and healthcare providers.

Attendees expressed appreciation and left feeling more confident and prepared to make thoughtful decisions for themselves and their families.
