Advanced Healthcare Directive

An Advanced Healthcare Directive is a legal document that outlines your preferences for medical treatment in case you are unable to communicate your wishes. It allows you to specify the types of medical care you would or would not want, and can also appoint someone to make health decisions on your behalf if needed. This ensures that your healthcare aligns with your values and desires, relieving family members from making difficult choices during stressful times. It's an important way to ensure your wishes are respected regarding end-of-life care or serious medical situations.
