CMA presents Advance Health Care Directive

An Advance Health Care Directive is the best way to make sure that your health care wishes are known and considered if for any reason you are unable to speak for yourself. By completing a form called an "Advance Health Care Directive" California law allows you to appoint another person to be your health care "agent." This person (who may also be known as your "attorney-in-fact")will have legal authority to make decisions about your medical care if you become unable to make these decisions for yourself. A message from the California Medical Association.
