NIHAN’s Geriatric Seminar Series provides free health care education and resources to the geriatric community, by presenting topics related to the 4M’s, an age-friendly health care framework—What Matters, Medication, Mobility, and Mentation. The goal of the 15-session NIHAN Geriatric Series is to foster healthy aging for old adults, in order to create a more healthy and age-friendly geriatric community in Nevada.

The seminar covers Advance Care Planning with three objectives for particpants:
1) Participants will understand the role of the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions (DPOAH) document in Advance Care Planning.
2 Participants will understand the decisions that the DPOAH asks them to make and the important things to consider in making these decisions.
3) Participants will understand how the DPOAH coordinates with other Estate Planning documents to meet their goals of outlining their wishes and maintaining their independence as much as possible.
