Healthcare Power of Attorney

Some people assume their loved ones can automatically make healthcare decisions for them, but that’s not always the case. When a person becomes unable to make their own medical choices, someone must be legally appointed to step in. PNW Aging offers professional Healthcare Power of Attorney services — ensuring your values, preferences, and best interests are honored when you can no longer speak for yourself.
