By LAUREN GILCHRIST, Senior Director of The Collective For Community Health at Children’s Minnesota
As we at Children’s Minnesota, the only exclusively pediatric health system in the state, mark our one hundredth anniversary of serving patients and families, we are excited to expand our investments in the Phillips Community. We recently purchased two properties across the street from our Minneapolis hospital in the Phillips neighborhood. The locations include a former funeral home and the former location of the Augsburg Fairview Academy, which recently found a new home.
As plans develop for these spaces, we are committed to continued and ongoing transparent engagement with the community. As always, Children’s Minnesota will continue to center our mission to champion the health needs of all children and families as we look towards our future vision to ensure that we remain a vital community resource and partner. Please reach out with questions or concerns to community@childrensmn.org.
Editor’s Note: the alley newspaper received this submission from Children’s Minnesota about a very important development that impacts our community. We have reached out to Children’s MN with additional questions and encouraged them to prepare a more comprehensive article for a future issue. At the time of publication they haven’t yet confirmed a plan to do so; in an attempt to keep readers informed in a timely fashion, we chose to put the information we do have from Children’s MN in this August issue.
