Advance Directives

You have the right to direct your medical and mental health treatment!

Two forms that could help you with this are available at NorthCare and at your local Community Mental Health Agency.

An advance directive is a legal document that states how you want medical and mental health decisions made if you are unable to participate in the decision-making process and to what extent care should be provided.

Free "Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care" form (for use in Michigan).

Consumers may also choose to complete the Plan for Difficult Times, or contact NorthCare to obtain a copy.

For additional information, read through the Peace of Mind pamphlet.
