Why Healthcare Directives Matter
Healthcare planning is about more than end-of-life care. It allows you to choose who should speak for you if you become unable to make your own healthcare decisions and to give that person, your family and your medical providers guidance about your wishes.

Common
Questions
What is the difference between a Healthcare Proxy and a Living Will?
A Healthcare Proxy names the person you want to make healthcare decisions for you if you become unable to make them yourself. A Living Will states your own wishes and preferences regarding medical treatment.
When can my healthcare representative make decisions for me?
Your healthcare representative does not take over simply because you signed the document. The authority applies when you are unable to make your own healthcare decisions.
Are healthcare directives only for older people?
No. Incapacity can occur unexpectedly at any age. Healthcare directives allow you to choose who should act for you and provide guidance about your wishes before a medical crisis occurs.
