End-of-Life Planning: Family Stories

Honoring Choices at its core is all about the end-of-life conversation held with family and friends. By having a conversation, we can make the dying process easier for everyone involved and avoid the family disagreements that often occur. End of Life Planning: Family Stories is a collection of ordinary people, medical professionals and faith leaders, each of whom have gathered together to share end-of-life stories from their personal and professional lives.

Honoring Choices at the End of Life

Years ago, most people died at home surrounded by family and friends. Today medical technology has extended our lives past what was expected for our ancestors. Now most people die in a hospital surrounded by equipment and technicians. But is this the end you want? Many Minnesotans don't realize that they have choices to make about what kind of care they want at the end-of-life and who to trust with communicating and honoring those choices. This program is the first look at an initiative, "Honoring Choices Minnesota," designed to encourage Minnesotans to explore those choices for themselves and for their families.

   

End-of-life Choices: Through History

In our brave new world of high tech medicine, if you became sick or are in an accident doctors can seem to perform miracles. But what was it like before all the research and technology? This documentary explores the broad range of end-of-life decisions Minnesotans made in the past and charts how these decisions have changed over time.

   

Honoring Choices: Medical Care

When a family member approaches the end of their life there are many decisions to be made... as it turns out many more decisions than 50, 30 or even 10 years ago. But most of us have no idea of how to approach the new medical realities that will confront us as we plan end-of-life care for our loved ones. A medical degree isn't necessary but some good conversations are. Explore these new realities... and how we got here... in a new tpt special.

   

AARP Teletown Hall Meeting

End-of-life planning can seem difficult at first, but once you gain the necessary knowledge, it becomes clear that it's a conversation worth having. To help make it easier for you, AARP brought together some of the leading Twin Cities medical professionals to better inform and help answer some common questions on this subject. By hearing stories and concerns from fellow Minnesotans, you'll be able to gain a better understanding of what options work best for us as individuals. This Teletown Hall meeting acts as a useful tool in helping you explore end-of-life decision making.
