healthcare proxies

A healthcare proxy is a legal document that designates a trusted person—called a healthcare agent or proxy—to make medical decisions on your behalf if you're unable to communicate your wishes. It ensures that your preferences about treatments and healthcare are known and respected when you're incapacitated. Choosing a proxy who understands your values and wishes is important, as they will advocate for your care based on what you would want. This document provides clarity and peace of mind for both you and your loved ones, ensuring your healthcare choices are honored if you cannot speak for yourself.
