Advance Directives
As a courtesy service, Boone Hospital Center's social workers offer education regarding advance directives (such as Living Wills, Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, and Health Care Directive). Our staff will explain the use of these documents, how they differ, and answer questions. Anyone may request this service - you need not be a patient or family member. Advance directive booklets are free of charge to the public.
Upon request by an individual, Boone Hospital Center will keep a copy of advance directives in the patient record of anyone who has a medical record at Boone. For a copy, please contact us at 573.815.3888.
