Please click the following links to learn more about:

  • Advanced Directives: Also called a living will, you can make your wishes known regarding medical care in the event your normal body functions have stopped, and you do not wish your heart and body to be sustained through machines when there is no hope of recovery. Competent adults have the right to choose to discontinue life-sustaining measures and refuse further medical intervention. This relieves family members and healthcare providers from making the emotional choice and carrying the legal burden of making such decisions.
  • Care Harmony Chronic Care Management (CCM) Program: The CCM program is available to Medicare patients living with more than one chronic condition, such as arthritis, diabetes, depression, or hypertension. Terrebonne General offers this service to help you navigate these challenges to help take care of you. You will be assigned a Care Coordinator who will call you to assist with scheduling appointments, lab tests, or other tests and to explain how and when to take your medication. Further, your Care Coordinator can connect you with health education resources, services, and programs while identifying available community resources to help you. You will have access to a 24/7 Care Coordinator Phone Line for help answering your questions.
  • Patient Information Guide: We offer a guide for patients and visitors that provides information about our amenities and policies, along with wellness advice. This includes our Red, White, and Blue program to honor men and women who have served in the military, as well as MedSafe: a medication disposal program for the public to dispose of old, unwanted, or expired medications safely.
