Advanced Directives

Have you ever wondered who would make health-related decisions for you if you are unable to due to critical injury or illness (if you are in a coma for example)?

Having an advance directive prepared prior to any injury illness or will help communicate your wishes regarding medical treatment to physicians and family. These directives describe the kind of care you do or do not wish to have if you have an injury or illness you are not likely to recover from.

The Social Services Department at Wise Health System is available to educate you or your group on all aspects of planning and preparing your advanced directive.
