As a patient, you have the right to make decisions about your medical care. This includes being fully informed about your treatment options, their benefits and risks. You may choose to consent to or refuse any treatment, including life-sustaining care. Please speak up if you have questions or concerns.

If you are ever unable to speak for yourself, your wishes can be outlined in an advance directive, such as a Health Care Power of Attorney or Health Care Directive. Advance directive forms are available in both English and Spanish. We offer an advanced directive form for your convenience, but you are welcome to use another form if you already have one, for instance, a document prepared by your lawyer.
