Advanced Directives
Advanced Directives are documents you sign to tell doctors,
nurses and others about your wishes regarding your medical
care and treatment or to name someone to speak for you if
you are unable to make these decisions or choices.
If you have Advanced Directives (Living Will, Health Care
Power of Attorney or Advanced Instruction for Mental Health
Treatment), please bring those with you when you come to
the hospital.
If you do not have an Advanced Directive and want one, someone
at the hospital can provide these forms to you at no cost
- just ask.
