Advance Care Planning Honoring Choices Florida is a community collaborative advance care planning initiative of Community Hospice & Palliative Care. The program launched in 2014 and is based on a model from Respecting Choices, a pioneering ACP program implementing throughout the United States, Canada and many countries in Europe and Asia. Honoring Choices Florida is designed to sustain an integrated, community-wide system to ensure patients' future health care preferences are discussed, documented, and honored. The program engages individuals through health care facilities and community-based venues through a specialized advance care planning document and offers trained facilitators-more than 590-to guide individuals and families through the process of discussing and documenting their health care wishes. In Fiscal Year 2024, facilitators guided over 7074 conversations and helped 6,111 individuals document their wishes.
