Advance Directives
also called Living Wills or Durable Power of
Attorney
CoxHealth is committed to serving our patients to the best of our ability.
This is a resource that can guide you through the process of creating
an Advance Directive or Durable Power of Attorney for you and your loved
ones.
"Advance Directive" is a general term used in this brochure
to apply to both the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Choices
and the Health Care Choices Directive. It is a term also frequently used
to refer to "living wills."
An advance directive is a document which communicates your health care
treatment preferences in case a situation develops where you are physically
or mentally unable to communicate.
