Medical Power of Attorney

The Appointment of a Health Care Agent (Medical Power of Attorney) is a legal document that lets you name someone you know and trust to make decisions for you concerning health care for your child in the event that you are not able. Anne Arundel Medical Center provides this information to all patients as part of a legislative requirement. It is not related to your diagnosis and is meant to make you aware of your health care options. For more information, call Patient Advocacy at (443) 481-4820 or -4821.
