WHAT IS A ADVANCE HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVE?
An Advance Health Care Directive names a trusted family member or friend to make health care decisions for you in the event you are incapacitated and unable to do so yourself. This document also allows you to provide detailed instructions concerning your health care, including anatomical gifts and end-of-life decisions. An Advance Health Care Directive eliminates the need for a court appointed conservator of your person.
