Episcopal Homes of Minnesota Participates in Long-Term Care Facility Summit at the White House

Posted on July 25, 2024 by LeadingAge Minnesota

Episcopal Homes of Minnesota was recently selected to attend the Long-Term Care Leadership Summit 3.0 at the White House.

Director of Nursing Represents Episcopal Homes at White House

Episcopal Homes was one of three nursing home providers nationwide that was invited to participate in this Summit, which took place on July 18, 2024. The Summit focused on respiratory virus vaccines and preparation for the 2024-2025 respiratory virus season.

Episcopal Homes of Minnesota proudly sent Inez Kalle, Director of Nursing, to attend and present Episcopal Homes’ successful vaccination strategy. Inez has dedicated years of her career to senior care, so she was well-placed to discuss Episcopal Homes high vaccination rates for COVID-19, flu, and RSV.

Inez summarized Episcopal Homes’ achievement, stating: “It was about trust, education, transparency, and information.” These core principles guided Episcopal Homes’ approach to vaccination, ensuring that residents and staff were well-informed and confident in their decisions. They prioritized open communication, providing clear and reliable information about the vaccines' safety and efficacy. Episcopal Homes’ medical director also made rounds and helped answer questions about COVID-19 and the vaccine to help ease people’s concerns. This transparency fostered trust among their community, empowering everyone to make informed choices for their health. 

Ensuring Heath and Safety

Moving forward, Inez will continue to collaborate as a partner with others from the Summit to collectively protect the health of long-term care residents, their families, and the staff who care for them.

Editor’s Note: A version of this story was first published on Episcopal Homes of Minnesota’s website here.
