No matter your age or state of health, it’s important to decide now about the medical care you would want if you become critically ill or reach the end of life. Although it’s a difficult subject, specifying the treatments you do or don’t want will help guide your doctors and ease the stress on your family. We can help you through these decisions.

Organ and Tissue Donation
Being an organ or tissue donor is a generous and life-saving decision. If a patient should become a candidate for organ donation, we are required by law to notify the family. We are committed to honoring our patients' wishes first and foremost.
