The Coffee and a Chat sessions held March 14 and 16, 2023 were attended by 54 people. Topics this month were understanding your Health Care Directives, and Fraud-how to recognize fraud. <\/p>\n

Deborah Shultz, Nurse Practitioner explained to us that a health care directive is for any person of any age. It is a document that states what a person\u2019s wishes are if they are unable to communicate to Health Professions. This document is for the living person and does not take the place of a legal will. The document designates a Health Care Proxy who should be someone with the same beliefs as you and can and will follow your wishes. They do not have to be a relative but should be a responsible adult who can also be a liaison between your family and the medical profession. You can access a Health Care Directive from the Government of Manitoba Website https:\/\/www.gov.mb.ca\/health\/documents\/hcd.pdf\u00a0<\/p>\n

Parth Bhavsar General Manager at TD Canada Trust in Swan River gave a presentation on fraud.<\/p>\n

Key moments are as follows:
\n– Keep your pin number protected, do not give it to anyone, even your family.<\/p>\n

– Have a secondary authentication sent to your phone number or a text message. If someone is scamming your info and you receive a text message or a phone call to verify the authentication, do not say yes. Say no!<\/p>\n

– Scammers can not touch investments or loans or line of credits, they can only scam bank accounts, saving accounts and credit cards.<\/p>\n

– When making an e-transfer, make sure the person who you are sending money to has not changed their phone number or email address.<\/p>\n

– No legitimate company or agency will ask you for a store card or prepaid visa for payment on an account.<\/p>\n

– No legitimate company will call and claim your computer is infected with a virus.<\/p>\n

– You never have to pay someone to receive a gift or prize or lottery winning, if it is a prize there will be no money transfer from you to receive it.<\/p>\n

– To keep yourself and your information safe, shred old bills, statements or cards. Do not throw anything in the general garbage that may have your personal information on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
