Happy 4th of July from all of us at LeadingAge Minnesota!

We were thrilled to spend some time at member sites this week ahead of the 4th of July holiday! On Monday, we were honored to attend the dedication ceremony at the new Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) home in Bemidji. Congratulations to the entire team and everyone who made it possible! It was a beautiful ceremony, a beautiful home, and a beautiful mission. This Independence Day will be especially meaningful for the veterans who now call this wonderful space home, as well as the dedicated team offering care to those who defended our freedoms. 🇺🇸 Our next stops were at Grand Village in Grand Rapids, followed by a visit to Central Todd County Care Center in Clarissa. We love seeing our members and the incredible work they’re doing in their communities! 💚 Finally, it wouldn’t be a LeadingAge Minnesota road trip without a photo of a roadside attraction. 🐠 😄 #bettertogether

We have a new Director of Communications joining the team. Please help us welcome Ben Hansen to LeadingAge Minnesota!
