If I request medical or surgical care without the use of blood transfusions, will my wishes be honored?

Allegheny General Hospital has a long-standing reputation as a center of excellence for treating patients who, for religious or other reasons, request care without the use of blood transfusions. During your stay you may request that a hospital representative review the Allegheny Health Network-specific advance medical directive for bloodless medicine with you, and assist you in clearly documenting your wishes.
