NursingWise Elder Care

On Thursday, April 9, Erin Pendexter Stone, will be the featured guest speaker of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Lunch Club from noon to 1 p.m. at The Village Inn,  165 High Street,. Auburn.  Stone is a registered nurse caring for Maine’s older adult, chronically ill population with a vision to create a culture where talking about dying is a shared value and end of life care honors individual’s preferences, goals and values.
