A healthcare power of attorney allows you to designate an agent to make medical decisions for you when you cannot communicate your wishes. This person should be someone you trust to follow your values and preferences.
You can name a trusted family member, friend, or other individual as your agent. The person should be willing to make difficult decisions and understand your goals.

Yes. You can revoke a healthcare POA at any time while you are competent. Notify your agent and your medical team of the change.
