Your patient advocate can be a spouse or relative, but doesn’t have to be. For some people, a friend, pastor, or co-worker might be the right choice. Your patient advocate must be at least 18 years of age and should be someone with whom you feel comfortable discussing your preferences, values, wishes and goals.
Your patient advocate needs to be willing to follow your wishes even if that’s difficult or stressful and even if your decisions are different from the ones he or she would make for his or her own medical care.
