Connected Communities Grant Webinar

Posted on April 25, 2024 by Gina DiMaggio

Do you ever wish you could build a better system to support the range of health and wellbeing needs of adults as they age? If you do, and if you missed our Connected Communities grant webinar last week, you can now watch it here.

  We assembled a panel of speakers, including those leading the Connected Communities projects at Perham Health and Knute Nelson/Walker Methodist to share their insight on the progress they have made over the last several years and what this could look like in your community.

What do the initial pilot sites think of Connected Communities?

“We really saw opportunity in our community to do more for people. And as a provider it can be really frustrating because we can see the wave coming at us, but we don’t necessarily have the ability to make changes. This is that opportunity to make changes and have a chance to transform what our communities look like and build a better future . . . Having a long-term care organization taking the lead in that is what we need in our industry and our state to change what our future is going to look like.”

-Tracy Hendrickx, VP of Long-Term Care, Perham Health

“Connected Communities has definitely been one of the highlights of my career . . . and to be taking the lead as a senior care organization is truly fun . . . This is a tremendous opportunity for any community. I would encourage anyone to jump on this.”

-Lindsey Sand, VP of Population Health at Knute Nelson/ Walker Methodist

Interested in bringing a Connected Communities project to your community?

A new Connected Communities grant opportunity is available to LeadingAge Minnesota members outside the seven-county Twin Cities metro area. Grants will be awarded up to $600,000 and applications are due by 5pm on May 23. To learn more, visit our website or contact Gina DiMaggio, LeadingAge Minnesota’s Foundation Director, with questions.
