RSSDouglas Urges Detailing Health Decisions
Thursday, 04/15/10 7:30am
Governor Jim Douglas says Vermonters should detail health care decisions they might want made should they become incapacitated.
Douglas joined Cindy Bruzzese of the Vermont Ethics Network in urging Vermonters to fill out a form on the state Health Department's web site.
Advance directives are used when decisions need to be made about health care for someone who's unconscious or otherwise incapable of taking part in the decision-making.
Nearly 8,000 Vermonters have signed up for the registry since its creation in 2007.
