</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[On March 24, Red Bud Regional Hospital's Healthy Woman program will host a free dinner, from 6-7:00 pm, at the Hospital auditorium. Guest speaker, Jackie Malinski, Director of Nursing at Red Bud Nursing Home, will provide an educational presentation called "Considering Long Term Care? What you need to know."

When the time comes to choose a long term care facility for yourself or a loved one, will you be ready? This may end up being the hardest decision you will face in your lifetime. Transitioning to a long term care facility can be a difficult adjustment. But proper planning can make all the difference. Starting the research and discussions early will prepare you and your loved one to make a confident decision when the time comes. This presentation will discuss the different levels of service in long term care facilities, choosing the right type of facility, paying for long term care, and discussing long term care with a loved one.

If you and your loved ones are faced, or will be faced, with this decision, consider attending this free event. The event is open to both men and women and dinner and attendance prizes will be provided. To reserve your seat, please call 282-5486 or visit us on the web at www.redbudregional.com, Healthy Woman.
