An Advance Healthcare Directive (AHCD) is an important legal document that will allow you to make choices for your future wellbeing, health care, and end-of-life care; as well as appoint a trusted person as your agent. Your chosen agent has the legal authority to make decisions for you and communicate with healthcare professionals if you are unable to. Without this very important legal document in place, no one, not even your spouse, has the legal authority to make decisions for you.
