Jinny Tesik, MA Washington Department of Public Health (WDPH)The WDPH hosts the Washington State Living Will Registry, which allows you to register your C&C Advanced Directives to an online registry so that they are available to medical providers anywhere via internet. To upload your living will to the registry, follow the instructions found at www.doh.wa.gov/livingwill. Those who register will receive a wallet card and a sticker to place on their drivers license. Note: Although the state provides living will documents on this site, we recommend sending our Advance Directive document because the state documents lack key provisions.
