Health Care Directive

Your health care directive is a concrete document that communicates to your physician and loved ones…

What kind of treatment you wish to receive if you cannot – for whatever reason – tell them yourself. This is most important in dealing with terminal injuries that leave you without quality of life. Create a health care directive to inform physicians whether or not to keep you alive once you are unable to function.

A health care directive will allow you to:

✔ Name your health care proxy
Identify who will make health care decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so for yourself.

✔ Clarify your end-of-life desires
Provide guidelines to loved ones and healthcare professionals about extraordinary intervention when death is imminent.

✔ Outline your healthcare wishes
Provide guidelines for loved ones and healthcare professionals about the kind and level of care your desire.

✔ Ensure comfort and dignity
Make sure everyone understands your wishes about living arrangements, medical treatment, hospice care, and palliative care.

✔ Authorize access to your medical records
Identify who can have access to your healthcare records.

✔ Convenient wallet card
Informs medical staff that you have health care directives. This card is just as important as your insurance cards.
