Advance Healthcare Directive

An Advance Healthcare Directive is a legal document that allows you to specify your preferences for medical care if you become unable to communicate your wishes in the future. It can include instructions about treatments you want or don't want, and appoints a trusted person to make healthcare decisions on your behalf. This ensures your values and choices are respected, providing clarity for your family and healthcare providers during difficult times. Essentially, it helps you maintain control over your healthcare decisions, even when you're not able to speak for yourself.
