LeadingAge Ohio to Offer Free Advance Directives Appointments at the Healthy Aging Expo
On Tuesday, July 29, LeadingAge Ohio will participate in the 2025 Healthy Aging Expo at the Ohio State Fair, hosted in partnership with the Ohio Department of Aging. From 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., attendees can stop by LeadingAge Ohio’s interactive booth to receive free, one-on-one guidance on completing their advance care planning documents.
During these 15-minute appointments, hospice and palliative care leaders will walk individuals through key decisions about their healthcare preferences, helping them complete Ohio's recognized advance directive forms, including the healthcare power of attorney and living will. Attendees will leave with completed documents in hand or with a clear roadmap for finalizing their plans. Updated planning guides and helpful prompts—including a newly revised edition of Conversations That Light the Way—will also be available.
The Healthy Aging Expo will feature over 3,000 square feet of resources designed to support wellness, independence, and informed decision-making for older adults. Fairgoers age 60 and older receive free admission to the fair on July 29.
