This week Helen & Jerry consider the purpose of the Medical Power of Attorney (MPOA). The purpose of the MPOA is to designate someone to make your healthcare decisions for you in the event that you’re incapacitated, and unable to make those decisions yourself.

For more information about the MPOA, visit NHDD.org or CaringInfo.org. Both of these websites have information regarding how to select your healthcare agent.
