Our firm’s new initiative, the MyProxy Wallet Card, features a free wallet-sized Halachic Living Will and Health Care Proxy card, which was recently featured in Hamodia newspaper. This initiative marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to align health care decision-making with halachic principles.
Organizations like Chayim Aruchim and NASCK have been at the forefront of raising awareness about Halachic Living Wills, both among the public and within medical facilities. Building on these foundational efforts, our firm has developed the MyProxy Wallet Card to further enhance clarity and convenience of halachic directives during critical times.
This straightforward tool is designed to provide you peace of mind that your halachic wishes are clearly communicated and accessible.
Features of the MyProxy Wallet Card include:
⦁ Identification: Your name and date of birth.
⦁ Emergency Contacts: Contact information of your primary doctor as well as the designated proxies authorized to make emergency health care decisions on your behalf.
⦁ Halachic Guidelines: Guidelines for managing health crises according to halachic principles.
As quoted in the Hamodia article, Rabbi Shmuel Lefkowitz of Chayim Aruchim commended the MyProxy Wallet Card as “a great way to make sure the patient will receive medical treatment according to Halachah.”
If you do not yet have a Halachic Living Will, you can get a free form from Chayim Aruchim here.
