Patients have certain rights and responsibilities according to the laws of the state of Washington. These guidelines are not created by Memorial Hospital; however, we do abide by them. It’s in the patient’s best interest to be familiar with important terms like "durable power of attorney" and "advance directives."

To learn more about important patient rights and decisions, click here to download our advance care directives form, a document designed to answer the most frequently asked questions we receive.

Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital is dedicated to giving compassionate care. This includes acknowledging the patient’s right to information about his or her health status. For additional questions or concerns, patients are encouraged to consult their physician or members of their health care team.

Organ Donation

LifeCenter Northwest created the Living Legacy Registry as a confidential database to store the donation wishes of the citizens of Washington state, to ensure each person can make their own personal donation decision. To access this registry as well as other information on organ donation and transplants, please visit www.lifecenternorthwest.org.
