What is an Advance Directive? 

An Advance Directive is the document that results from the Advance Care Planning process and includes two parts: communicating your wishes regarding medical treatment with your designated patient advocate and completing a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare. The Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care (DPOA-H) is a legally recognized document in Michigan. The DPOA-H allows you to name your Patient Advocate.
