Advance Directives - Faith Regional Health Services

Faith Regional Health Services is required by law to inquire of all inpatients age 19 and over if they have an Advance Directive. An Advance Directive is a declaration that is written and signed by a competent adult, in accordance with the law, to give directions about future medical care or to designate another person to make medical decisions if the patient loses decision-making capacity. 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, please bring a copy of this with you. This directive will be used to guide the decision making of all care given if you should ever become unable to communicate your desires about medical treatment.
