Advance Care Planning

The Vermont Ethics Network
promotes public dialogue about ethical issues and choices in Health Care. They have standardized forms that you can use for Advance Directives, documents also known as Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care and Terminal Care Documents. You may request a copy by calling 802-828-2909, or download them yourself from  www.vtethicsnetwork.org
