www.cghmc.com/patients-visitors/ advance-directives/

We all feel we have the right to make choices about our own healthcare. Most of us will talk with our doctor about pros and cons of different treatment options first. As a competent person, it is our right to agree to or refuse medical treatment. This basic right is protected by law.

But what happens if a serious illness, injury or perma nent loss of mental abilities makes us unable to talk to our doctor about medical treatments we do or do not want? At these times, it is hard for all of us as patients, family members, friends, doctors and nurses.

You can answer some of these questions by filling out an advance directive for healthcare. This lets you con tinue to have a say in your own treatment. An advance directive lets you plan ahead. You can make your wishes known. You can name someone who will see to it your wishes are followed.

CGH Medical Center follows advance directives as long as they meet requirements of Illinois Law. Always bring your advance directive with you when you come to the hospital. They can be copied and attached to your current medical record.

We encourage you and your family to complete an advance directive. You can download these forms right from the web address above. Or contact CGH at 815.625.0400, ext. 5727, for a free and complete advance directive packet.
