“Learn how to talk to your loved ones about what matters most,” organizers said. “Share about the kind of care you want to receive from your doctor. Feel more confident and ready for the future.”

A Lavender Ceremony and celebration of life will follow. To RSVP and submit names of lost loved ones to be read in the Lavender Ceremony, email KCHcircleoflife@hhsc.org.
