PEI residents, make sure that your wishes are followed, in the event that you are unable to give directions for treatment, with this Prince Edward Island Health Care Directive.

• You can give your proxy detailed instructions and set out your wishes regarding what types of medical treatment you want or don't want, in the event that you become unable to communicate those wishes due to illness or injury.
• The form includes a Declaration of Incapacity form, as well as information and instructions to help you complete the documents.
• This is a downloadable Health Care Directive form in MS Word format. It is intended for use only in the Province of Prince Edward Island.
