Introduction
Your Healthcare, Your Way
You’ve spent most of your life making your own healthcare decisions - choosing doctors, treatments, exercise, nutrition, and what’s best for your body. A Living Will ensures you don’t lose that voice and that your end-of-life healthcare is done your way.
By putting your healthcare wishes in writing, you ensure that your voice is heard even when you cannot speak for yourself. A Living Will offers guidance to medical providers and peace of mind to loved ones by eliminating guesswork and minimizing the risk of disagreement.
Overview
You Decide
A Living Will provides clear instructions about the medical care you want to receive in cases of incapacity. These instructions can address a wide range of healthcare decisions, including:
-
Comfort & Pain Care:Your wishes for pain management, comfort care, and palliative treatment
-
Life-Sustaining Treatment:End-of-life preferences, such as the use of life-sustaining measures like ventilators or feeding tubes
-
Medical Treatment Choices:Consent or non-consent for specific medical treatments including, surgeries, medications, or diagnostic testing
-
Care Providers & Facilities:Preferences for healthcare providers or facilities including, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, or hospice care
-
Organ & Tissue Donation:Your wishes regarding organ and tissue donation for transplant, research, or education
A Living Will can be customized to fit your specific needs and will essentially outline what “quality of life” means to you and what to do if that standard is not being met.
