Free Advance Care Planning Events Offered Across Waupaca County

Waupaca County- Residents across Waupaca County will have several opportunities this spring to plan ahead and gain peace of mind through a series of free community events focused on advance care planning.

The Waupaca County Aging and Disability Resource Center, in partnership with the Fox Valley Advance Care Planning Partnership, is hosting the Peace of Mind for the Years Ahead event at four locations throughout the county. These sessions are designed to help adults understand and complete important documents such as Power of Attorney for Health Care and Power of Attorney for Finances.

At each event, attendees can receive guidance and assistance with completing both documents. Educational presentations on Power of Attorney for Health Care will be offered twice during the event hours, and participants may work on forms at any time while staff and trained volunteers are available to help answer questions.

The first event will be held at the Waupaca Public Library on Thursday, February 5, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with presentations at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. The session will take place in the lower level Room A.

The second session is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at the New London Senior Center, also from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with presentations at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

On Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the event will be hosted at Compassion Connections at the Fox Community Credit Union Partners Annex in Clintonville. The session will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with presentations again offered at 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

The final event will take place on Tuesday, May 6, 2026, at the Sturm Memorial Library in Manawa from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., with presentations scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Advance care planning helps ensure that an individual’s wishes are known and respected if they are unable to make decisions for themselves in the future. Organizers encourage adults of all ages to attend, noting that having these documents in place can ease stress for families and loved ones.

These events are free to attend. Anyone with questions or looking for additional information can contact the Aging and Disability Resource Center at 715-258-6400.
