Do You Have A
Health Care Proxy?
A “Health Care Proxy” provides a way to make the very
difficult issues of end-of-life care easier by allowing the
expressed wishes of the patient to be followed in a proper manner.
It can help remove much of the stress that these decisions bring
to loved ones and family members. As practicing Catholics, having
a Health Care Proxy, helps our passing become what it should be -
a hopeful, glorious journey to life everlasting in the company of
our Lord and Savior.
