Cottage Health will put your Advance Directive in your medical record so that it is accessible to all Cottage Health providers. Cottage Health will also create a medical record for you if you are not currently a patient.
It’s important to also give copies of your Advance Directive to your other medical providers, family, and close friends. You may also want to give a copy to an attorney or your faith community.
Be sure to keep copies for yourself at home.
