Designating a Healthcare Agent

Designating a Healthcare Agent is crucial as it provides clear, written instructions about healthcare treatment in the event you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself. This includes appointing a Healthcare Proxy (HCP) and creating a Living Will. Having these documents in place helps minimize stress and reduces the likelihood of conflicts, ensuring that your healthcare wishes are respected and followed.
