Community Involvement
The patients we serve are our family, and this community in northwest Minneapolis is our home. That’s why we work hard to support organizations that we believe will help strengthen the connection people have to their neighborhoods, because for us it isn’t just philanthropy — it is what is expected of us as key members of the community we all share.
