Community involvement

Health happens outside the walls of Allina Health. Community knowledge and expertise is integral to improving the health and well-being of people in the communities we serve. Through community partnerships, we are able to:

• Understand and address community health needs
• Invest in relationships and strengthen trust with the community
• Mobilize Allina Health resources and expertise to support community needs
• Partner with communities to inform the work of Allina Health
• Engage employees in meaningful ways

These partnerships are core to how we impact community health, with a vision where everyone has the tools and resources they need to be healthy.
