What is Community Benefit?
Supporting heart healthy living is one way Allina Health makes a difference in communities throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
Allina Health seeks to decrease death and disability from cardiovascular disease by promoting heart healthy living, increasing screening and intervention, and improving early and effective response to cardiac events in our community.
