Why Do I Need an Advance Directive?

Even if you're young and healthy, it is never too soon to put your wishes in writing. No doubt, the middle of a medical crisis is the worst time to begin thinking about these critical questions, when your family is upset and you may be disoriented or in pain.

Texas hospitals encourage you to think through these issues, share your wishes with your loved ones, and put them in
writing while you are healthy.
