Anniversary on the island: Dr. Dirk Hagena is advising on the subject of living wills for the 100th time.
The association board for care in the district offers its consultations on living wills with decision-making aids for precautionary measures in the event of old age or illness once a month. “A living will with which you determine things yourself is just as important as the health care power of attorney,” says Hagena. Although 80 percent of Germans are informed about living wills, only 40 to 50 percent have one.
