Advance Directive Form

As long as you can speak for yourself, you are always in charge of your health care. But what happens if accident, illness or disability robs you of the ability to make your wishes known? You can take action now to insure your wishes are followed when you can’t speak for yourself by filling out an Advance Directive for Health care. Ask your provider for a booklet that contains a legal form which allows you to express your wishes for care, if you become unable to decide in the future.

NEW MEDICAL CHAPERONE REQUIREMENT

A medical chaperone is available when your provider conducts a sensitive exam. As of July 1, 2023, the Oregon Medical Board (OMB) requires a medical chaperone be offered to all patients for these exams. A chaperone is trained to know what to expect during an exam and is there to ensure patient and provider safety. A chaperone is offered for your comfort, but you may choose to decline to have a chaperone present.

Please speak with your health care provider if you have questions about a sensitive exam or the use of a medical chaperone.
