Advance Directives are written instructions, such as living will, durable power of attorney for health care, health care proxy, or do not resuscitate (DNR) request, recognized under state law and relating to the provision of health care when the individual is incapacitated and unable to communicate his/her desires. As a provider of outpatient services, it is the policy of Canyon Surgery Center that Advance Directives will NOT be honored. Canyon Surgery Center will provide full resuscitative service for any patient requiring emergency life saving/support. You, your conservator or guardian will be given an opportunity to cancel the surgical procedure.
