What is an Advance Directive?

An advance directive, also known as a healthcare directive or living will, is a legal document that specifies your medical treatment preferences in situations where you are unable to communicate due to illness or incapacity. It is an essential part of healthcare planning, ensuring your wishes are respected.

In Portland, the advance directive form allows you to:

  • Appoint a healthcare representative to make decisions on your behalf.
  • Specify the type of care you want or do not want, including decisions about life support and end-of-life care.

This document not only protects your healthcare wishes but also reduces the emotional burden on your loved ones when it comes to making difficult decisions.
