What is an Advance Health Care Directive?

An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) is a legal document that allows you to:

  • Specify the medical treatments you do or do not want in case of serious illness or incapacity
  • Appoint a trusted person (your “health care agent”) to make medical decisions on your behalf
  • Ensure that your end-of-life care preferences are respected
  • Prevent family disputes by clarifying your medical wishes
