A Living Will is a document that allows a person to explain in writing which medical treatment  he or she does or does not want during a terminal illness. A Living Will takes effect only when   the patient is incapacitated and can no longer express his or her wishes. The will states which  medical treatments may be used and which may not be used to die naturally and without the patient's life being artificially prolonged by various medical procedures.

It is important to share this information with loved ones now, so that your preferences may   be observed should the need arise.  HWS has Advance Directive packets, complete with detailed information and forms, which   can be obtained at our office, Science and Research 153.
