Healthcare Directives
A healthcare directive (some call it an Advance Healthcare Directive) is a form that makes your healthcare wishes known to your family, other loved ones and healthcare providers if you become unable to state them yourself.
This directive allows you to:
- Appoint another person to be your healthcare "agent." The agent you designate will be authorized to make decisions for your medical care if you are incapacitated.
- State what treatments you would like or not like and other detailed healthcare instructions.
Copies of your completed healthcare directive should be provided to your family (including your agent) and healthcare providers such as Adventist Health and Rideout.
Healthcare directive forms are available from several sources, including the California Office of the Attorney General.
