terrific projects they have worked on recently.

  
  BREAK OUT
TOPIC		    If Not You, Who?   On a daily basis we are asked to guide patients and
families through their darkest moments, whether it’s
a diagnosis of illness or the news that a cure cannot
be found. In those moments, you are the best source
of comfort, guidance and advocacy. As an expert in
systems and collaboration, you are looked upon to
provide the navigation.  Are you experiencing barriers
to giving patients and families what they need?		  
  BREAK OUT
TOPIC		    PRACTICAL Tool   A step-by-step guide to determining the legal need
for guardianship, this resource is, well, practical for
use in ACP as well!  Led by Anita Raymond of
Volunteers of America.

 
  BREAK OUT
TOPIC		    Medical Aid in Dying   This is a topic gaining attention throughout the nation.
Learn what is happening where, what lessons are being
learned, and what the future might hold.  All
viewpoints and questions are welcome in this
discussion, led by Rebecca Thoman, MD.

  BREAK OUT
TOPIC		    Organ & Tissue
  Donation		   Are you confident in your abilities to accurately respond
to questions about organ, tissue and whole body
donation?  Do you know what checking the box on
a MN driver’s license really means?

  
  BREAK OUT
TOPIC		   The New Language
of ACP		   New research tells us what words, phrases and terms
resonate best with patients and their loved ones. 
Learn which to use, and which to avoid, in this session.		  
  Greater MN ACP Project       Honoring Choices has been actively working on
helping communities around the state develop
their own, unique Advance Care Planning programs.

  
  Almost a Murder Mystery       Authored by Light the Legacy founder Lynn Mackenzie,

recognition and relevance.  We’ll watch the recording
and follow-up with discussion of what YOU would do!

  
  Spirituality Reminders       Regions Hospital Chaplain Rob Ruff helps each
of us learn how to respond to questions of
spirituality.
