College Student Patient Advocate Designations

As your high school graduate gets ready for the big adventure of college, you’re probably packing dorm supplies and giving last-minute advice. But there’s one important item you may not have considered: a Patient Advocate Designation.

Years ago, a family doctor usually knew you, your child, and their medical wishes. But today, big hospital systems often follow strict rules and checklists made to avoid legal problems—not to give personal care.

Imagine this: Your 18-year-old has a sudden illness or accident and can’t speak for themselves. Without a Patient Advocate Designation, the hospital might not let you make medical decisions without going to court first.

This simple form lets your adult child choose you as their trusted advocate—but only if they can’t make decisions themselves. It protects their independence while making sure you can step in during an emergency.
