BECKLEY -
As part of National Healthcare Decisions Week, Raleigh General Hospital is offering free help to prepare advance directives such as Living Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney.
People looking to prepare these documents can come the hospital's main lobby on Wednesday, April 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The hospital will also offer free assistance from a member of our Nursing Staff who is also a licensed notary. That staff member will notarize documents upon their completion.
In discussions about end-of-life choices, one of the things that families commonly fail to do is to discuss health care treatments that patients are likely to receive at the end of life.
In addition to telling your family what you would want, it would be helpful for you to write your wishes on a Medical Power of Attorney and/or Living Will form. If you complete a Medical Power of Attorney form and name a family member or friend to make decisions for you, you give this person the legal authority to make decisions based on your wishes. It is one of the best things you can do to ensure that your wishes at the end of life will be honored.
