Can a patient be transferred to another hospital with power of attorney if the patient doesn't want to?

Yes, the power attorney is a legally binding agreement. If the power attorney thinks that it is in the patient's best interest to be moved to another hospital, then that is usually what happens. The only other reason that would be able to be granted otherwise, is if a patient is able to still make his/her own decisions still, then they can vocalize their feelings.
