Pennsylvania Advance Directive for Health Care helps you to communicate your wishes about medical treatment at some time in the future when you are unable to make your wishes

According to Pennsylvania law, an adult may prepare a written Advance Health Care Directive
(equivalent of Living Will) directing that life-sustaining procedures be withheld or withdrawn. It also defines other health care treatment
decisions that can be made on your behalf.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An advance medical directive is any written instructions concerning the making of medical treatment decisions on behalf of the person
who has provided the instructions. You have the right to make decisions about your health care. No health care may be given to you over
your objection, and necessary health care may not be stopped or withheld if you object.
An individual of sound mind who is 18 years of age or older or who has graduated from high school or has married may execute at any
time a declaration governing the initiation, continuation, withholding or withdrawal of life sustaining treatment.
