On April 16th, Honoring Choices Massachusetts invites you to National Healthcare Decisions Day Conference. There will be Massachusetts experts and leaders that will discuss new services & programs, strategies to meet everyday challenges, and teach you about how to create pathways to deliver lifelong coordinated care to adults and families in your community.  

The program will take place on Thursday, April 16th, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Conference Center at Waltham Woods, located at 860 Winter Street, in Waltham.

The 2014 Update to the Massachusetts Expert Panel on End of Life Care Report is now available. This update coincides with the publication of the 2014 Institute of Medicine's report entitled Dying in America, FrontLine's film Being Mortal based on Dr. Atul Gawande's book of the same name, continued efforts by The Conversation Project, and our new state regulations requiring all licensed hospitals, clinics, and long term care facilities to offer information on a full range of end of life care options to adults with serious advancing illness. 

Join our April Monday Lunch for Professionals next week, where Cynthia Haddad, from Shepherd Financial Group and the Massachusetts Sibling Support Network, will provide education about sibling-related issues when one child in the family has a disability.

At this program, you will learn more about the sibling experience and the research on the impact of disabilities on siblings. You will also learn strategies and tips to support siblings and the growing sibling movement.

The program will be from noon to 1:00 p.m next Monday, April 6th at our Copley Square office in Boston. Lunch is provided and seating is limited so registration is required.
