When planning for future healthcare needs, it is important to put legal documents in place to convey healthcare wishes in the event that you are unable. It is always important to discuss individual wishes with family and physicians. Completed and signed documents should be witnessed and presented to your physician, hospital and family. Hamilton General Hospital keeps advance directives on file at our Health Information Management Department.
Visit the Texas Department of Health and Human Services website to obtain these documents.
