Info: Understanding a Health Care Power of Attorney
Who will speak for you if you're unable to? Who will communicate your preferences to healthcare providers and caregivers if you can't? Choosing a health care power of attorney to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event of a serious health condition, accident or emergency is an important step in planning ahead for your healthcare.
The process of documenting your wishes does not need to be burdensome and not all decisions need to be made today. If you only do one thing in your advance care planning process this year, choose your person to be your voice if you are not able to express your wishes. Then document your election and register your advance directives in the Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry (AzHDR) to help ensure your decisions are honored and your treatment is guided by your wishes.
