Our Volunteers
At Honoring Choices Virginia, we envision a world where every Virginian has access to high quality advance care planning that is honored in the delivery of care. We believe that access and person-centered care are critical to eliminating health disparities and distrust of the medical field. We value listening, consensus, engagement, collaboration, consistency, and equity. Our spaces are inclusive and value-neutral.
Do you share these values and beliefs? It is important to you to honor others’ choices and right to person-centered care? Do you want to help others make informed choices and advocate for themselves and those they love?
Honoring Choices Virginia is a network and team of organizations and individuals who share these values and commitments. Our mission is achieved through the important work of volunteers and staff.
Our volunteer teams work to meet every person they encounter wherever they are in the advance care planning process. Volunteers provide educational presentations, appear at public speaking engagements, facilitate advance care planning conversations for community members, and much more.
