‘Choose Your Person’ helps for end-of-life care

The Arizona Healthcare Directives Registry, which houses living wills, power of attorneys' forms and medical care directives for pre-hospital and end of life care, has grown by about 22,000 accounts in the past two years. About 98,000 people are registered with AzHDR. But medical and health care providers say gaps in information persist and fall below the national average, which sits at about one in three adults. In a concerted effort to up registration with the state database, Contexture, the platform operating the AzHDR, in partnership with Hospice of the Valley and Mercy Care, announced an education campaign dubbed “Choose Your Person,” to prompt more Arizonans to take the first step by naming and registering someone as their power of attorney.
