Advance Directives
A Gift For You and Your Loved Ones
Having an Advance Directive is important for everyone, young and old, since accidents and illness can strike at any age.
Advance Directives allow you to plan ahead, this document allows you to outline the medical treatment you would want and the names of persons you would want to make health care decisions for you if you could no longer express your wishes.
You can download your state’s Advance Directive at www.caringinfo.org The staff at Mercy will be happy to assist you and answer any questions.
