What is a Healthcare Surrogate?

A healthcare surrogate, also known as a healthcare proxy, is a legal document that designates someone to make medical decisions for you if you cannot do so yourself. This person, referred to as your surrogate, will have the authority to consult with healthcare providers, access medical records, and make decisions about your treatment, including end-of-life care, surgeries, or other critical procedures.

Your designated healthcare surrogate will be responsible for:

Making medical decisions based on your preferences and values.
Consulting with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers about your condition and treatment options.
Accessing and reviewing your medical records to make informed choices.
Ensuring that your wishes are followed for end-of-life care, including life-sustaining treatments or palliative care.

Why You Should Consider Having a Healthcare Surrogate

Ensure Your Wishes Are Respected

By appointing a surrogate, you can communicate your preferences for medical care and ensure they are followed even if you are unable to voice them yourself.

Ease the Burden on Loved Ones

Designating a surrogate prevents confusion and conflict among family members by clearly assigning decision-making authority.

Plan for the Unexpected

Medical emergencies can happen at any time. A healthcare surrogate ensures that someone you trust can act quickly and make informed decisions on your behalf.
