Advance Directives
Multilingual Hawaii Advance Health Care Directive in 11 languages
Get information about Advance Directives — what they are and how you can use them. After 10 years we have updated and revised the Advance Directive to make it more user friendly and accommodate the wishes of patients and their loved ones in more detail. Now a 3-page document, you can find the PDF file of the Advance Directive on our dedicated web page. (updated Dec. 2015)
All “old” two page Advance Directives are still valid, although we recommend you use only the new form and may consider updating an “older” form with the more detailed options available now.
