Advance Directives

An Advance Directive allows you to document your desires about how you would like your healthcare handled in a situation where you are unable to express your wishes. The two forms of Advance Directives include; A Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare in which you select someone to make healthcare decisions for you in the event you are unable to, and the Living Will in which you indicate what treatments you would or would not like performed in the event you are unconscious.

If you have an Advance Directive, make sure to bring it with you the day of your surgery. If you wish to obtain more information on Advance Directives, contact Parkland’s Social Services Department at (603) 421.2262. Advance Directives must be completed before the day of surgery.
