Catholic Healthcare Proxy
Use this healthcare proxy for your healthcare needs in case of incapacitation.
“Life and physical health are precious gifts entrusted to us by God. We must take reasonable care of them, taking into account the needs of others and the common good. Concern for the health of its citizens requires that society help in the attainment of living-conditions that allow them to grow and reach maturity: food and clothing, housing, health care, basic education, employment, and social assistance.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2288
