Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - There's always so much going on in Puerto Vallarta and around Banderas Bay, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. Here's a look at some of this week's Vallarta-Nayarit news headlines, community announcements and a couple of upcoming events that you won't want to miss.

End of Life Decisions Seminar in Puerto Vallarta

On Friday, September 30 at 9:30 am, Healthcare Resources Puerto Vallarta will present an End of Life Decisions Seminar at O'Rourke and Associates in Plaza Marina. Join us for this no-charge event, where a panel of experts - an attorney, Emergency Room Physician, US Consular Agent, Canadian Consular Agent, Intensive Care Specialist, Cardiologist, Hospital Medical Director and Funeral Home Representative - will cover any and all topics related to death and dying in the Banderas Bay area, from wills to cremation to trusts and everything in between. As this is a Question and Answer presentation, attendees are asked to send their questions ahead of time so that all questions can be answered. This is the fifth time that Healthcare Resources has presented this seminar, which is geared towards people that live in the area full time, and it has been 100% full every time. If you have attended in the past, there's no need to attend again. Space is limited and available by RSVP ONLY. To reserve your seat and submit your questions, email Pamela Thompson at pamela(at)healthcareresourcespv.com This is not the "happiest" of subjects, but it is best to hear the correct information from the "experts" rather than via rumor - and to plan ahead of time! - so reserve your seat TODAY!
