What Your Advance Health Care Directive Can Cover
Advance health care directives are sometimes referred to as living wills. These documents establish how you will be treated medically in case of incapacity. It generally covers your preferences for:
- Any life-sustaining treatments: You can specify whether you agree to or are against any life-sustaining measures such as mechanical ventilation, feeding tubes, dialysis or resuscitation efforts like CPR
- Pain management and palliative care: These directives can ensure you receive the support you want during serious illnesses or at the end of life
- Organ and tissue donation: This can help your loved ones or health care providers make decisions in accordance with your values
