FEBRUARY 2022

A NOTE FROM SYLVIA As the shortest month of the year kicks off and we gradually gain daylight, I make sure to find time to enjoy these sunny, wintery days. I love how Minnesotans find unique ways to brave the chill. From cross-country skiing to ice fishing to a favorite of mine, cozying up with a book by the fireplace, we find ways to thrive during the cold weather. As we begin our subtle thaw into spring, I am excited to share some wonderful programming available on-air, on-demand and online on Twin Cities PBS. This month, we’re premiering a new Minnesota Experience documentary, Film in the Cities: Radical Roots of Youth Media . The film explores the story of a group of young artist-teachers who launched a groundbreaking arts education program centered on filmmaking here in the Twin Cities. At its core, the story explores the unadulterated joy of burgeoning young filmmakers in the 1970s. Watch the premiere on Monday, February 21 at 8 p.m. on TPT 2 or stream online at tpt.org/minnesotaexperience . In last month’s magazine, we highlighted a new web series that is part of TPT’s Racism Unveiled initiative – That Got Weird . Pairing audio interviews with Black, Indigenous, and people of color and animated characters, the series of short videos reflects on the personal stories of Minnesotans who experience tokenism, microaggressions and racism. Look for the series on YouTube at YouTube.com/TPTOriginals . February also marks the beginning of Black History Month. To honor the contributions of African Americans, the TPT 2 schedule includes a new episode of American Masters on Marion Anderson, The Whole World in Her Hands , airing on February 8 at 8 p.m.; American Experience: The American Diplomat , airing February 15 at 7 p.m.; and on our TPT LIFE channel, Ella Fitzgerald: Just One of Those Things , airing February 5 at 7 p.m. Check out a list of additional Black History Month shows at tpt.org/blackhistory . As we continue to work toward our strategic vision (learn more at tpt.org/2030 ), we are so proud of the work we share with our community. Stay warm and, as always, thank you for your support.

Best Regards, Sylvia Strobel President and CEO, Twin Cities PBS

Hospital at Home: The Future of Health Care in Your Living Room By Beth Baker

Jim Petersen, 83, who lives alone in an assisted living community outside Denver, recently had pneumonia. But rather than be admitted to the hospital, he was offered another choice: hospital-level treatment in his home.

In-home visits "invert the relationship" between doctor and patient, he adds. In a hospital, the patient wears a gown and lies in a bed while doctors do rounds. In contrast, Diaz is invited to enter the patient's home. During an appointment with Petersen, the two discovered they both loved fishing and hunting and shared roots in northern Illinois. Being in a patient's home "humanizes the patient and the provider," Diaz says. "It makes the ability to connect with a person that much easier, and it's important clinically, determining a plan of care that will work in that context."

Being in a patient's home "humanizes the patient and the provider," Diaz says.

Petersen didn't hesitate. "In plain English, there's no place like home," he says. "You can get good care in a hospital, but you never sleep really good." In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of older patients are more eager than ever to avoid hospitalization. Depending on their condition, many can receive the full complement of professional services in their home, paid for by Medicare as if they were in the hospital. In Petersen's case, nurses and physician assistants came to his home to monitor him and administer antibiotics. "With the technology today, they can take x-rays and EKGs and blood work right here in my apartment," he says. "They were just great. I stayed here and recovered." His physician, Dr. Manny Diaz, used to work in a hospital, but is now medical director with Advanced Care-Denver. "I believe [this] will be the future of health care, moving as much as we can effectively and safely into people's homes to provide comfort at a lower cost," Diaz says.

Not all patients are eligible for home care, such as those experiencing chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe abdominal pain or drug overdoses. Dozens of other common conditions, though, including congestive heart failure and urinary tract infections, can be treated at home. As technologies advance and as people age who are comfortable with computers and cell phones, home-based delivery of medical care is likely to grow, especially if CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) continues to fund acute care at home, say practitioners.

Are These the Little Girls I Carried? By Lyla Blake Ward

Last year, when my younger daughter Belinda turned 65, I suddenly realized: we are all seniors. Amazing and wonderful — but weird, right? Of course, this didn't just happen. I've known for a long time she and her sister Gina, 68, were growing up. I couldn't help but notice Gina, teaching her grandchildren to ride their bikes, is the spitting image of the girl I taught to pedal her first tricycle. Or that Belinda, with the shelf full of Emmy Awards for her work in children's television, bears an uncanny resemblance to that young girl who won a prize for an essay she wrote in fifth grade. If you find yourself, unbelievably, the mother of could-be retirees, your first instinct may be to wring your hands and wail: Where has the time gone? Since I am one of the lucky ones whose memory is intact, I don't have any trouble recalling times gone by; my problem, in relation to my daughters, is reminding myself, at this point, they know as much (well almost as much) about life as I do. I did use our times together when they were children — maybe 9 or 10 — to let them know how I saw things. Very often, one or the other or both would hang out in the kitchen with me as I prepared dinner and advanced my philosophy on money, marriage, and feminism: equal rights forever! A good part of what my daughters know, and I do not, is the result of having been in the business world. They have dealt with sometimes difficult bosses or decision makers, negotiated contracts, and met new associates as they traveled wherever the job took them.

Lyla Blake Ward with her daughters Gina, left, and Belinda

I have to recognize that my "girls" are now women. They have had children, run households and had long successful careers. I have complete confidence in their ability to handle the most delicate situations. Yet, every so often, when one of these undisputedly mature women is helping me load the dishwasher after dinner, I have the uncontrollable urge to say: Don't forget — anything plastic goes on the top shelf.
