An advance directive is a written plan that explains your medical preferences for future situations when you cannot communicate. It may include choices about treatments you want, or do not want, and who should speak for you. In Wisconsin these documents help guide care and support your values in a range of health scenarios.
Many people choose a trusted family member, friend, or professional advisor as a health care proxy. The key is selecting someone who understands your wishes and can make decisions in alignment with them. It’s important to discuss your choices with that person and provide written guidance.
Yes. You can update or revoke directives at any time while you have the capacity. When circumstances change, we recommend rewriting or amending documents to reflect your current preferences.
