Although not required for admission to Northpointe Surgical, Advance Directives serve to provide family and medical personnel with information concerning your wishes for medical care should you become incapacitated.

In the ambulatory surgery care setting, should you suffer a cardiac or respiratory arrest, or other life threatening situation, you will agree to any resuscitation necessary with a transfer to a higher level of care. If you have an Advance Directive please bring a copy of it with you, it will be included as a part of your medical record.
