HONORING CHOICES® INDIANA — NORTH CENTRAL
About Us
History:
Honoring Choices® Indiana – North Central was formed to move forward the idea that everyone in our service area should receive care that honors their personal values and goals in catastrophic situations or at the end of life. The organization began as a grassroots effort as leaders from healthcare providers, faith-based communities and non-profit organizations met to discuss the best approach to facilitating advance care planning in north central Indiana.
Mission:
Our mission is to proactively engage the people of our community in conversations with loved ones and medical caregivers about their goals for quality of life and advance care planning. Honoring Choices® Indiana – North Central is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting and sustaining advance care planning to ensure that individuals’ future health care preferences are discussed, documented and honored. We do not charge for our services but rely on community support, such as donations and grants, for our funding.
