Health Care Directive English​

Honoring Choices Minnesota provides resources to help individuals create a Health Care Directive, a legal document that outlines a person’s medical care preferences if they become unable to communicate what they want.

Key Information About Health Care Directives:

  • What It Is: A document that specifies medical treatment preferences and appoints a health care agent to make decisions on your behalf.

  • Why It Matters: Ensures that your health care choices are respected, reduces stress on family members, and provides clear guidance to medical providers.

  • Who Needs One: Every adult should have a Health Care Directive, regardless of age or current health status.

How to Create a Health Care Directive:

  1. Think About Your Wishes – Consider medical treatments you do or do not want in different situations.

  2. Choose a Health Care Agent – Select someone you trust to make decisions if you are unable to.

  3. Fill Out the Directive – Complete the official form available through Honoring Choices.

  4. Sign & Share It – Ensure your health care agent, family, and medical providers have a copy.
