As discussed at the 2012 Town Meeting, if you have specific needs and desires regarding the care you want to receive during a medical crisis, you need to complete a DNR/COLST form and have it readily available in your home for emergency personnel to find. (DNR/COLST stands for Clinician Orders for DNR/CPR and Other Life Sustaining Treatment.) Download the form here, fill it out with your doctor and post it on your refrigerator or other easy-to-find location. This form is in addition to an "advanced directive". Contact Ripton Fire and First Response with your questions, or visit the Vermont Department of Health website.
