3attorney for health care is voluntary. Despite the creation of this power of attorney
4for health care, I expect to be fully informed about and allowed to participate in any
5health care decision for me, to the extent that I am able. For the purposes of this
6document, "health care decision" means an informed decision to accept, maintain,
7discontinue or refuse any care, treatment, service or procedure to maintain, diagnose
8or treat my physical or mental condition.

15If he or she is ever unable or unwilling to do so, I hereby designate.... (print name,
16address and telephone number) to be my alternate health care agent for the purpose
17of making health care decisions on my behalf. Neither my health care agent nor my

20I am a patient or a spouse of any of those persons, unless he or she is also my relative.

8understands my philosophy regarding the health care decisions I would make if I
9were able. I desire that my wishes be carried out through the authority given to my
10health care agent under this document.
AB695,21,1911 If I am unable, due to my incapacity, to make a health care decision, my health
12care agent is instructed to make the health care decision for me, but my health care
