A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)<\/b> and an Advance Medical Directive (AMD)<\/b> are both legal documents for medical-related decision-making. <\/span><\/p>

These documents come into effect should you lose the ability to make your own decisions, and can help ensure your wishes are respected in such situations.<\/span><\/p>

LPAs and AMDs are<\/span>\u00a0often confused because both are prepared with the help of a doctor,<\/span><\/span> \u00a0<\/span>but they cover very different situations. Below, we explain what each one<\/span><\/span> \u00a0<\/span>does, how they differ, and how you can get\u00a0<\/span>them\u00a0<\/span>certified at any Frontier Healthcare clinic.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
