Advance Health Care Directive & Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care

An Advance Health Care Directive sets your wishes for health care in writing in the event you become incapacitated and are not able, at that time, to let others know. This allows you to choose who will oversee that your wishes are carried out, who will be the physicians caring for you, and other matters, such as what you want for treatment should you reach a permanent, non-responsive state.

A Durable Power of Attorney for health care allows you to choose who will make decisions about your health care should you become incapacitated.
