Living Will/Advanced Directive
In New York State, family members can't speak for you if you
become incapacitated as a result of an injury or illness, unless you have filled
out an advance directive designating a family member to make health decisions
for you. The advance directive, known as the Health Care Proxy, is one of the
most important ways patients can make their wishes known. The state health
department has a website where you can learn more about advance directives, and
download the form that could give you and your loved ones peace of mind should a
health crisis occur.
