Informed Consent for Healthcare

Promoting quality healthcare for people with disabilities through education about decision-making and true informed consent

It's Your Health!
Health care is personal, but you may feel you do not always have a say in what it takes to keep you healthy.

You have the power and the right to make choices about everything that effects you.

We want you to know 4 things:
  • You can make decisions.
  • You have power over your healthcare decisions.
  • You can pick someone you trust to help you.
  • You should plan ahead for your healthcare.
People who care about you can help to make decisions easier. But you have control over the details and have the final say in all of your healthcare decisions.


Click here to learn more about how you can better control your healthcare decisions now, and how you can think about planning ahead for times when you may be really sick and need more help.
