Exceeding Patient Expectations
Healdsburg District Hospital is a district hospital whose mission is to meet the healthcare needs of the population we serve with only the highest quality care and service, innovative and responsible use of resources, and compassion for our patients.
When we talk about “Exceeding Patient Expectations,” it's not just a clever marketing line. It's a meaningful description of what we're about at HDH. It's that focus that earned us numerous awards such as the Avatar Award for exceptional patient care and ACHD In recognition of outstanding contributions to community and health and well-being .
These are exciting times for our hospital, the healthcare district, and for you, the residents of the North Sonoma County Healthcare District. We've built a strong, vital healthcare community at HDH, and we're moving rapidly forward in a positive direction. Our entire team – physicians, nurses, and support staff – is united in our goal of providing outstanding care for you and your family.
When you are admitted to the hospital for treatment, you can trust Healdsburg District Hospital to provide quality, compassionate care that will exceed your expectations.
Advance Health Care Directive
An Advance Health Care Directive is the best way to make sure that your wishes are known and considered if, for any reason, you are unable to speak for yourself. By completing a form called an "Advance Health Care Directive," California law allows you to do either or both of two things: First, you may appoint another person to be your "agent." This person (who may also be known as your "attorney-in-fact") will have legal authority to make decisions about your medical care if you become unable to make these decisions for yourself. Second, you may write down your wishes in the Advance Health Care Directive form—for example, a desire not to receive treatment that only prolongs the dying process if you are terminally ill. Your doctor and your agent must follow your lawful instructions. Even though you do not have to appoint an agent, the California Medical Association (CMA) recommends that you do so. Then there will be someone you trust to actively participate in the decisions involving your health care.
The Spanish translation of the California POLST form is for educational purposes only to be used when discussing a patient's wishes documented on the POLST form. The signed POLST form must be in English so that emergency personnel can read and follow the orders.
