Advanced Directives for Health
An Advanced Health Care Directive is a legal document where you state
your wishes regarding your health care if you're not able to make the decisions yourself.
This is also called a "living will," or a "durable attorney for health care." Everyone,
regardless of age, should have one of these filled out.
