Geisa hosts free session on patient directives and living wills this October

An upcoming main event in Geisa will help people understand patient directives and living wills. The DRK Geisa Local Community is hosting a free information session on October 22, 2025, at 3 PM. Organisers say the gathering aims to reduce uncertainty around medical decisions that may affect others.

The event will take place in the Gangolfisaal and is open to everyone, with no need to register. Speakers will include Frau Michel from VDK Betreuung Fulda and representatives from the Palliative Care Team Wartburgkreis. They will explain what patient directives are, how to complete them correctly, and when they come into effect.

Attendees can expect coffee, cake, and a chance to ask questions. Silvio Wiegand will also be on hand to discuss the home emergency call service. The DRK encourages people of all ages to think about their wishes for medical care, especially while still in good health.

Personal views on life, suffering, and death vary widely. The event will help individuals clarify their own values and document them properly.

The session offers a chance to learn about patient directives in a relaxed setting. No prior knowledge is needed, and all are welcome. Organisers hope the discussion will make it easier for people to plan ahead for future medical decisions.
