All About Advance Directives
An advance directive is a declaration that is written and signed by a person to give directions about future medical care. It also designates another person to make medical decisions for you. Advance directives include living wills and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care documents in which a patient’s choices for health care decisions are outlined.
If you have an advance directive, be sure to bring a copy to your doctor. It will be used to guide the care given should you ever become unable to communicate your wishes.
You can find more information about advance directives and a wallet card you can fill out on our Web site at www.frhs.org/pts_advancedirect.html.
