Roundtables to help Allina address community needs

[Owatonna People's Press, April 12, 2016] Allina Health is reaching out to the community for ideas to engage local health needs. At a roundtable discussion Tuesday morning at the Steele County History Center, Allina staff heard from city, county and school district officials, South Central Human Relations Center social workers and case managers, Koda Living Community employees and nonprofit executives, among others, all weighing in on what needs they see unmet in areas ranging from chronic pain management to dental health.

The process is part of Allina’s mission to serve its communities, said Natalie Ginter, community engagement and development for Allina’s south region.
