Advance Directives

The hospital has established policies to inform the public about Advance Directives. These documents include Directives to Physicians, (also called Living Wills) and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. Advance Directives are an important way for you to instruct your physician about your wishes for medical care and life-sustaining measures in the event of serious incapacity. You will receive more information about Advance Directives when you are admitted to the hospital.
