Why Every Adult Needs A Healthcare Proxy
A Healthcare Directive lets you name someone you trust to make medical decisions if you ever become unable to do so.
This document protects you by ensuring:
- your wishes are followed
- your family knows what to do
- medical decisions are made quickly
- the right person has legal authority
- hospitals and doctors can speak with your chosen decision-maker
It is one of the most important documents any adult can have, regardless of age or health.
Critical for Individuals Who May Need Extra Support
For individuals with disabilities, a Healthcare Directive is especially important. It allows a trusted supporter to:
- communicate with healthcare providers
- review medical information
- help make medical decisions
- advocate for appropriate care
- assist in emergencies
- align care with the person’s values and needs
This document helps ensure consistency, safety, and continuity of care.
