"Every day, the nation's hospitalists -- the physicians who care for hospitalized patients -- are at the bedside with patients and families when crucial decisions about care are made. We know firsthand how important it is that everyone make their choices about their medical care ahead of time and then put those decisions in writing. That's the only way their families and the professionals who care for them can be sure they are fulfilling the patient's wishes. The Society for Hospital Medicine is partnering with the American Hospital Association to urge every American to put it in writing."

- Dr. Steve Pantilat, President of the Society of Hospital Medicine
