Allina Health brings team spirit to work with local nonprofits
“We’re better together,” said Aimee Pappenfus, director of System Community Engagement and Impact. “So, our focus is connecting groups of our employees with local nonprofits that serve our patients.”
The Allina Health Pharmacy team has been doing it for nearly a decade at Open Arms of Minnesota, a Minneapolis-based nonprofit that creates medically tailored meals for critically ill people.
“Giving back locally is more important than ever,” said Ann Byre, vice president of Allina Health Pharmacy and Lab Services. “And if we can also build community within our own teams, it's a win-win.”
Even better, when employees volunteer as a group, Allina Health makes a charitable contribution to the organization that’s being supported.
