We had a successful flu clinic last week at Iglesia Ebenezer Church. These pictures are too cute not to share! Thank you to an anonymous donor for giving us 60 of these new, soft, adorable stuffed animals for the kids to take home!
We held a free flu shot clinic at La Luz Del Mundo in Shakopee on October 25th. Here are some pictures from the event.
Thank you to the church for hosting and to the staff at St Francis Regional Medical Center Special Care Unit for donating the books for the children to take home!
Here is a photo of our three nurses (Mary, Heidi, and Barb) along with our Director (Amber) at the Project Community Connect (PCC) event held on November 19th.
We were happy to be a part of a coordinated medical services area along with partners: St Mary’s, Scott County Mobile Clinic, and St Francis. The event helped 400 people in Scott and Carver counties who are homeless or near homeless and the medical area provided medical exams and resources to 30+ people.
Chaska Rotary Gala at Oakridge Conference Center…..accepting our gift from Dave Pokorney were Barbara Zell, Executive Director and Terry Hassan, community outreach and translator. $15,000 from the Chaska Rotary and a matching $15,000 from Allina St. Francis Regional Medical Center. What an evening and what a gift!!! Thank you all for your generosity, faith and trust in the work that we do.
Free flu vaccine clinic again last Sunday at Guardian Angels in Chaska.
Thanks to the MINI project for the vaccine, Homeland Health for the nurses and St. Francis Regional Medical Center ICU staff for all the free books….”Reading helps kids stay healthy”
Our Minnesota Immunization Networking Initiative (MINI) project team at the Faith-Based Public Health Partnerships: Strengthening Community Networks meeting in Atlanta April 16-17th. Our program represented 102 vaccination events in Minnesota and over 7200 people vaccinated in 2011. The organization represented were: Fairview Hospitals, St. Mary’s Health Clinics, Open Cities Health Center, Minnesota Faith Health Consortium, Minnesota Department of Health and the River Valley Health Services. This initiative has proven to be a wonderful contribution to the health of our uninsured and underinsured.
Floreciendo/Blooming…a wonderful event at Gracias Ministerios that River Valley participated in March 31st. The event’s focus was encouraging women to be all that they can be as a person, in their home and in their church. Kris Huinker from WIC presented recipe ideas for busy women. Blood pressure and diabetes screenings were provided to all. What a day for all of us!! Thank you for inviting us.
