The importance of a Healthcare Power of Attorney
A Healthcare Power of Attorney allows you to appoint a person or persons to make healthcare decisions if you cannot act for yourself. A Healthcare Power of Attorney only comes into effect when you are deemed incapacitated by a doctor by written confirmation of your incompetence and in most cases, two physicians are required to make this determination. Life is very unpredictable. What if you had a major medical issue that left you physically and/or mentally incapable of taking care of yourself? Who would make your healthcare decisions on your behalf while you were incapacitated? It is also important that healthcare providers are able to contact someone during a medical emergency.

What can the person you appoint do on your behalf?- Agree to or refuse treatment plans, medications, and pain management
