With our Let’s Talk Story Program we want to meet people where they work, play or pray.

We are happy to announce that in collaboration with the Hawaii Catholic Conference we are participating in their 11 trainings on all islands about the importance of the conversation and Advance Health Care Directives as well as the benefits of hospice and palliative care. These events are the culmination of months of planning and collaboration with Fr. Mark Gantley, Eva Andrade and Kokua Mau’s own Joy Yadao.

All sessions are open to the public for all adults, age 18 and older.
