Advance directives
To help ensure your wishes for future medical care are known, valued, and honored, Washington State Medical Association offers an advance directive — a legal form that allows you to write down and share what is important you as well as name your health care agent to make health care decisions for you if you cannot make your own decisions. All adults 18 and older can complete an advance directive.
