Honoring Choices Partner Network
Working together to standardize planning conversations and connect adults to timely care in their community.
The Honoring Choices MA (HCM) Partner Network is a statewide voluntary collaborative network of health care and community organizations, and state and local entities that offer care and services at every phase of health.
Our shared mission is to provide equal access to accurate information and help adults make a plan for the best possible care that honors their care goals, priorities and care choices. The HCM Partners use or refer to the HCM planning process to:
- inform and empower consumers to make a personal plan;
- enhance the knowledge and skills of care professionals as Health Care Planning Ambassadors to engage adults in simple to serious illness conversations;
- provide/connect adults to timely equitable care in their community.
Everyone is welcome to join the Partner Network. There is no cost to partnering. We'll tailor our tools and programs to support your staff and strengthen your mission. See email contact information at the bottom of the page.
