During the inaugural National Share the Experience Summit on September 7, 2016, Respecting Choices leaders announced the program's transition from Gundersen Health System to the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) under a long-term agreement. Patients, partners, staffers and the public in general will continue to receive core Respecting Choices services under the partnership, as well as realizing additional benefits from other opportunities, C-TAC and Gundersen officials said. Almost all of Respecting Choices staffers and certain key leaders will move from offices on Gundersen's La Crosse campus to another location in the city, although staffers will be C-TAC employees. “The mission and the content will be moving, but the program will remain the same,” says Bud Hammes, director of Medical Humanities and Respecting Choices at Gundersen Health System and one of the inventors of the advance-care planning program.
