Advance Directives
The best way for you to be in control of your medical treatment is to record your preferences in advance. You can make legally valid decisions about future medical treatment through an Advance Directive. In completing an Advance Directive, you can do two things: legally appoint someone as your Personal Agent for Health Care to make healthcare decision for you when you cannot speak for yourself and/or formally state your wishes for the medical treatments you do or do not want to receive.
You may request an Advance Directive document during admission, from your nurse, or from Pastoral Care at 678-604-1054 or Quality Management at 678-604-1056.
If you have made your wishes known, it is our policy to honor a patient’s Advance Directive or any other health care directive that meets the requirements of Georgia law.
