DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE DECISIONS

My name is__________ (insert your name) and my address is__________ (insert your address). I would like to designate__________ (insert the name of the person you wish to designate as your agent for health care decisions for you) as my agent for health care decisions for me if I am sick or hurt and need to see a doctor or an advanced practice registered nurse or go to the hospital. I understand what this means.

If I am sick or hurt, my agent should take me to the doctor or an advanced practice registered nurse. If my agent is not with me when I become sick or hurt, please contact my agent and ask him or her to come to the doctor's or advanced practice registered nurse’s office. I would like the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse to speak with my agent and me about my sickness or injury and whether I need any medicine or other treatment. After we speak with the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse, I would like my agent to speak with me about the care or treatment. When we have made decisions about the care or treatment, my agent will tell the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse about our decisions and sign any necessary papers.

If I am very sick or hurt, I may need to go to the hospital. I would like my agent to help me decide if I need to go to the hospital. If I go to the hospital, I would like the people who work at the hospital to try very hard to care for me. If I am able to communicate, I would like the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse at the hospital to speak with me and my agent about what care or treatment I should receive, even if I am unable to understand what is being said about me. After we speak with the doctor or advanced practice registered nurse, I would like my agent to help me decide what care or treatment I should receive. Once we decide, my agent will sign any necessary paperwork. If I am unable to communicate because of my illness or injury, I would like my agent to make decisions about my care or treatment based on what he or she thinks I would do and what is best for me.

I would like my agent to help me decide if I need to see a dentist and help me make decisions about what care or treatment I should receive from the dentist. Once we decide, my agent will sign any necessary paperwork.

I would also like my agent to be able to see and have copies of all my medical records. If my agent requests to see or have copies of my medical records, please allow him or her to see or have copies of the records.

I understand that my agent cannot make me receive any care or treatment that I do not want. I also understand that I can take away this power from my agent at any time, either by telling my agent that he or she is no longer my agent or by putting it in writing.

If my agent is unable to make health care decisions for me, then I designate__________ (insert the name of another person you wish to designate as your alternative agent to make health care decisions for you) as my agent to make health care decisions for me as authorized in this document.
