Get a formal demand letter to hospital administration, your rights under PSDA, and steps to enforce your directive.
Living wills and medical POAs are legally valid documents — hospitals are required to honor them.
The Patient Self-Determination Act requires hospitals to inform patients of their rights and respect advance directives.
A well-written letter to hospital administration often resolves the issue quickly — especially when you reference federal law.
If they still refuse, you can escalate — ethics committee, state health department, or legal action. We'll guide you.
