Your medical provider and nursing staff must know about your allergies, immunizations, and current medications, including over-the-counter, vitamins, and herbal medications. Please bring all the medications you take at home to the hospital with you, or bring a current list of medications. You can download a form below that will help you document your medications and vitamins. Please keep this form with you at all times and update it as changes occur.
An advance health care directive communicates your health care decisions should you be unable to make or communicate them for yourself. Our social services staff is prepared to provide support and information to help you create a legal advance health care directive.
In your advance health care directive, you will appoint a health care agent. Without the directive, state law determines who will make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so.
Copies of the Advance Health Care Planning Resource Guide for North Dakotans are available through our Social Services Department.
