U of M alum brings healthier foods to Allina

[Univ. of Minnesota, March 23, 2010] As director of community benefit, Ellie Zuehlke is focused on connecting with the world outside of Allina Hospitals and Clinics. But she was just a few months into her job at the large health system when she noticed something unsettling about the community within Allina.

"I was struck by how much food there was at meetings and other work gatherings, and I was surprised by how unhealthy it was," says the 1999 public health administration grad.
