A Designation of Healthcare Surrogate is a document created by Florida statute. In this document you name a surrogate to act for you in your health care decisions when you are unable to do so for yourself. To be clear, no one needs a Designation of Healthcare Surrogate unless they have a clear desire regarding their care in the instance of a serious injury or illness.
