Next End-of-Life Planning Seminar with Dr. Mitsuo Tomita and Panel: Dementia

Shukatsu, a modern term in Japan, refers to the many aspects of end-of-life planning. To avoid the pain and confusion of death and its impact on family and friends, now in Japan it is a new tradition to talk things through ahead of time and make sure plans are in place.

Join us — New Time! At the Temple in our air-conditioned Annex Hall from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. or so for the latest in Shukatsu as presented by Mitsuo Tomita, M.D., retired family physician.
