POA-HC

A serious illness or accident can happen at any time and at any age. Therefore, it is important for every adult over the age of 18 to have an Advance Directive. Complex choices about end-of-life care are difficult to discuss even when people are well. If a loved one is seriously ill, these decisions can seem overwhelming.
