We believe patients should be directly involved in their care. During urgent and end-of-life events, it helps to have an advance directive—which helps care providers understand the patient’s wishes in the event of critical injury or illness. It also comforts the family, as many difficult decisions can be made ahead of time by the patient regarding his or her wishes for life support and other critical care issues.
By completing an advance directive, the patient can authorize his or her decisions through a living will, life-prolonging procedures declaration and appointment of healthcare representative.
Below, you will find links to advance directive options for Indiana and Kentucky residents. Norton King’s Daughters’ Health encourages you to be prepared in the event of an emergency or sudden change in health status. Discuss these issues with your family. Help them to be involved and understand your wishes.
