Advance Directives

We plan for everything—weddings, retirements, education, children and careers. The one life changing event that we don’t plan for is how we would like to be cared for at end-of-life.

What if an illness or accident leaves you in a coma? Would you want to have your life prolonged by any means, or would you want to have some treatments withheld to allow a natural death? What if you are dying from a painful, terminal illness? Would you want to receive medical procedures to prolong your life? Developing an advance directive can help you define your wishes and communicate them to your family, loved ones and legal representatives.

At HPH Hospice we understand this decision process can be difficult, emotionally. But taking a thorough and thoughtful approach to the subject now can ensure clarity later. We invite you to download the following documents and forms which will help you complete an advance directive.
