Contiguous or non-contiguous buildings, properties, parcels, leases, structures, installations, pipes, or pipelines under the. ownership or operation of the same person may be considered separate. facilities. Only this definition governs whether a facility is subject to this. part.
Any person who is eighteen years of age or older, or is the parent of a child or has married, may give effective consent for medical, dental, health and hospital services for himself or herself, and the consent of no other person shall be necessary.
An interesting point is that the statute does not terminate the right of a parent of a 16-17 year old to consent, it just extends that right to the child. Thus a 16-17 year old in need of medical attention may consent, but so may either parent or a guardian.
