One of the important things you can do to prepare for the future is to create an Advance Healthcare Directive. If you wait until a health emergency happens, it may be too late for you to control what is done on your behalf.
An Advance Healthcare Directive allows you to name another person to make healthcare decisions for you when you cannot make decisions or speak for yourself. It also records your wishes about your healthcare in the future.
Here is a link to a site where you can fill out the Advance Healthcare Directive that applies to Utah. Each state has different requirements for this document to be legal and so it is a good idea to use the appropriate form for the state in which you reside.
