Trinity Church in Roslyn is hosting an information lecture “How to Manage End of Life Decision-Making,” with renowned elder care attorney and “right to die” expert David A. Smith, who has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, Fox and more. He will address issues around understanding and controlling options in advance of health care crises and emergencies. The lecture will be held on Wed., April 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Church.

The informative session, followed by Q&A, will cover a range of topics, including “right to die,” to help prepare for possible health care emergencies and crises. It will also discuss some of the forms and tools available in New York State for end-of-life healthcare decision-making.
Speaker David A. Smith has more than 40 years experience in civil litigation, including many “right to die” cases such as the Baby Jane Doe case and the 2012 Grace Lee case. Discussing “right to die issues,” he has appeared on numerous television programs, including the Today Show, NBC Dateline, CNN and Fox News.
“Various forms of life-saving and life-sustaining technologies have grown exponentially and to try to make sure we control the technologies, rather than be controlled by them, it is important that we all think about them, understand them, and make decisions concerning these issues while we still can,” said David A. Smith. “By preparing, properly executing and fully distributing documents by which we carefully articulate our own healthcare wishes in advance of any healthcare crisis, we can better control these decisions.”
Prior to founding the Law Office of David A. Smith in Garden City in 1996, he opened the New York State Attorney General’s first Nassau office.

In the early 1990s, Smith served as legal director for the New York-based Society for the Right to Die (later known as Choice in Dying).
As part of the presentation, attendees will be provided with forms such as healthcare proxy statements and living wills.
The presentation will be held live and also via zoom. To request the zoom link, please email: office@trinityroslyn.org.
