Be a Trusted Source of Planning Information
The Honoring Choices Partners and Friends have enthusiastically joined the statewide MA Department of Public Health- Health Care Proxy Campaign. The Honoring Choices Partners & Friends are a trusted source of care planning information engaging adults in simple health care planning conversations and distributing no cost information and MA planning documents in their community.
Our thanks to MA DPH Commissioner Robert Goldstein for leading a statewide Health Care Proxy Campaign to advocate that “every adult 18 years and older designate a Health Care Agent and complete a Health Care Proxy.” Honoring Choices provides our structured approach to care planning, in coordination with Massachusetts Health & Hosptial Association’s Simple Step Campaign.
Everyone can start a simple conversation to choose a Health Care Agent and complete a Health Care Proxy. Not able to choose an Agent? That’s Ok. Just start with the Personal Directive (Living Will) to write down your care preferences and share with your care providers.
Our QUICK START page has everything you need including-
- NEW: Who is Your Health Care Agent Consumer Handout, 9 languages
- NEW Video: Choosing a Health Care Agent
- Health Care Proxy, 15 languages
- “I Have a Health Care Proxy” Wallet Card, 6 languages

Special Thanks to Charlotte Roy, who convenes the South Shore – South Coast Pilot Project, initiated by MA DPH, and the Guardianship Workgroup members, for helping develop the new consumer handout and inspire a statewide campaign.
