Incapacity means you cannot make decisions for yourself. Make it Easier for your loved ones to help you when you need it.
When your medical providers know what treatments you want, they can work faster and more efficiently to treat you.
An Advance Directive is a document which lays out the treatments you do and do not want to receive if you are unable to communicate due to incapacity. Typical items included are do not resuscitate orders, feeding tube use, life sustaining measures, palliative care, and organ or tissue donation.
Designating a Healthcare Proxy allows someone else to step in and make medical decisions for you if you are incapacitated. Not only can your proxy make medical decisions, but they can also advocate for treatments on your behalf. Your proxy should be someone you know and trust, is capable, can make difficult decisions, and is dependable.
