Upon admission to the hospital every adult patient will be questioned about end-of-life decisions (advanced directives). If you have either a Living Will or Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions, please give us a copy to be placed in your medical chart.
Patient/Visitor Special Needs:
A variety of services and equipment are available to accommodate patients with special needs such as visual, hearing, or physical challenges as well as interpretive language services. If you have special needs talk with the nurse.
You have a right to talk to someone if you have a complaint about the care you have been given. You have a right to have your complaint reviewed and resolution attempted.
