Minnesota Visiting Nurses Association

Yesterday morning Jen Carbone invited me to attend the annual breakfast fundraiser for the Minnesota Visiting Nurses Association. I hadn't heard of them before. It was held in the Nicolett Island Pavilion in Minneapolis. Gorgeous. Mayor Rybeck did the welcoming! They're HUGE. And fabulous! And non-profit! They make hundreds of thousands of visits every year in the Twin Cities Metro Area,  caring for teen moms from pregnancy through early parenting, alzheimers patients, immobile patients. Really across the spectrum. They help to keep health care costs low while providing IN HOME care for those who are sick and without the funding to pay for 1:1 care as they provide. Very tearful presentation. I highly encourage you to check out their website at: http://www.mvna.org/ if you have a chance. We are working to form a partnership with them at The Diaper Drive.
