An advance directive informs physicians and other medical providers about a patient's treatment preferences in the event of a critical illness. The advance directive is activated when a patient is deemed by a physician to be terminally ill or to have an irreversible illness/condition.

An advance directive:

• Can be modified by the patient at any time
• Cannot be overriden by anyone except the patient in sound mind

Advance directives can help to decrease suffering, increase quality of life and improve comfort at the end of life. Specific directives could include use of CPR or other resuscitation methods; life-sustaining equipment (dialysis/ventilator); artificial nutrition/hydration; and palliative care.

We at Samuel Dixon Family Health Center, Inc., urge you to have an advance directive. Inform your family of your desires and keep your card (downloadable below) with you in the event of an emergency.
