Community Connections: Navigating the End with Ian Graham - Bettendorf Public Library

An hour-long talk in the library's Community Connections series, in its Gilbert and Lillienthal Rooms. The library describes it as "an introduction to advanced care planning, end-of-life decisions, and communicating your wishes", covering living wills, durable power of attorney and the Iowa Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (IPOST), then the realities of intensive medical therapy and how to raise the subject with a primary care provider and family. The speaker is Ian Graham, whom the library describes as a candidate for the Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Clarke University and a registered nurse working at the bedside since 2019. The library says the series is funded by the Friends of the Bettendorf Public Library and asks anyone who requires special assistance to call 563-344-4175 in advance. The listing sets no registration requirement -- no registration window exists on it -- and names no admission price, and this library prints no blanket free-admission sentence, so no cost is claimed here.
