Advanced Directive
You have the right to have an Advance Medical Directive, such as a living will or health care proxy. These documents express your choices about your future care or name someone to make decisions if you cannot speak for yourself. If you are not able to make your own decisions, Mississippi law allows you, your guardian, your agent under medical power of attorney or a substitute decision maker to make your healthcare decisions. In the absence of an Advance Medical Directive or guardian, Mississippi law allows a person of your choice to be the substitute decision maker. This document must accompany you each time you are a patient at the facility. If you need more information regarding Advanced Medical Directives, please contact our Admissions Department at (601) 384-8102.
