What is an Advance Directive for Health Care?

An advance directive for health care is a legal document that allows you to specify your preferences for medical treatment and appoint a trusted individual to make health care decisions on your behalf if you become unable to communicate your wishes. By creating an advance directive, you ensure that your health care preferences are known and respected, even if you are unable to express them yourself.
