Living Wills & Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA)
Having one of these documents on file, makes things easier when critical decisions need to be made on behalf of the patient, based on the patient’s wishes.
A Living Will is an important way to communicate to the patient and family members, the patients’ wishes. Making decisions can be hard, so with a Living Will in place, you help ease the responsibility put on family members & ensure that your wishes are followed. Living Wills are easy to fill out & can be changed anytime the patient chooses to do so. Once filled out, all Avera hospitals will have access to view your Living Will so they will also know what your wishes as a patient are.
Durable Power of Attorney papers (DPOA’s) are an easy way to let your healthcare team know who to contact, & make decisions on your behalf. DPOA’s are easy to fill out and can be changed at any time should the patient wish to do so. Once filled out, all Avera hospitals will have access to view your DPOA papers which will make it easier for them to know who to contact on your behalf.
