April 2017 a small group of healthcare professionals met to discuss how we could educate our community on the importance of completing their Advance Directives. We created Kitchen Table Conversations to provide in-person and online educational workshops on Advance Care Planning, End of Life Care, and Grief. We hoped the name of our new non-profit would encourage people to have these conversations at the kitchen table instead of during a medical crisis in the ICU. October 2017 AARP of Central Texas began sponsoring our workshop series The 3 Ds of Advance Care Planning: How to Decide, Discuss and Document Your End of Life Wishes resulting in thousands of Central Texas being educated on the importance of completing their Advance Directives. In 2020 AARP Central Texas is sponsoring our new series Conversations On Grief which offers support to those grieving the loss of a loved one.
