What is an Advance Health Care Directive?
An Advance Health Care Directive is a document outlining your wishes concerning medical treatments you wish to receive (or withhold) in “end-of-life” scenarios.
In conjunction with these end-of-life decisions, an Advance Health Care Directive can include stipulations such as the number of physicians required to confirm your medical prognosis and chance of recovery.
