About Honoring Choices

"Honoring Choices Minnesota" is an effort of the Twin Cities Medical Society and its Foundation to encourage families and communities to have discussions regarding end-of-life care choices. Twin Cities Public Television is supporting "Honoring Choices Minnesota" with efforts to reach and engage Minnesota citizens in this effort.

Honoring Choices Minnesota uses the training, principles and methodology of Respecting Choices ®, a nationally recognized model of Gundersen Lutheran Health System in La Crosse, WI. What makes HCM unique is our Minnesota-specific governance, customized forms, patient education materials, and Minnesota family stories.

The Twin Cities Medical Society (TCMS) is a membership organization representing over 5,000 practicing physicians, resident physicians and medical students in the seven-county metro area. TCMS exists to connect, represent and engage physicians in improving the practice of medicine, policy development and public health initiatives. Honoring Choices Minnesota has been a key project since 2008.

As one of the nation's leading public media organizations, tpt uses television, interactive media, and community engagement to advance education, culture and citizenship. Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, tpt is one of the highest-rated PBS affiliates in the nation, reaching over 1.3 million people each month through multiple broadcast and online channels. The mission of tpt is to "enrich lives and strengthen our community through the power of media."

The Citizens League builds civic imagination and capacity to govern for the common good in Minnesota. We are: Multi-partisan: We believe good ideas come from many different people, places, and ideologies. Multi-issue: We work on any issue that impacts Minnesota’s quality of life and economic health. Member-based: We organize our more than 2,400 members to identify and study policy problems and advance solutions. We believe that better results come from people doing the hard work of finding common ground.
