ADVANCE DIRECTIVES:
As a patient of Newton Memorial Hospital, you have a right to accept or refuse medical treatment and the right to declare ahead of time how you would best like to be cared for. By completing a document known as an advance directive, you can state your wishes or instructions should you lose the ability to communicate these wishes yourself. This document also gives you the opportunity to name a person who would make medical decisions on your behalf in the event you could not communicate your wishes to the medical staff.
