Advance Directives: Planning for Medical Care

Advance directives assist in the planning of medical care in the event of loss of decision-making abilities. We all value the right to make decisions for ourselves. Unfortunately, due to illness or injury, we may not remain able to participate in treatment decisions. Such disability may be temporary or permanent.

As difficult as it is to confront these issues, by doing so we can help ensure our wishes are honored in the future. Once you determine your wishes, the process of planning is relatively simple and inexpensive or free. This pamphlet contains information on advance directives to assist you. The fill-in-the-blanks forms at the end of the pamphlet included below are options should you choose to proceed.
