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.
