GREETINGS! Please take a look at our July A-POD calendar because there”'s some major changes afoot! We decided to merge our Monday evening A-POD English-speaking group with our Thursday Morning (10:00 AM) English-speaking group, freeing us up to now participate in the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic”'s Monday evening schedule. Thus we can Meet-up with local residents who are diabetic but cannot afford regular medical care. We will set up a table there to meet with any patients who are diabetic to help them begin to navigate the sometimes choppy waters faced by those of us with diabetes. We are also beginning to offer a special A-POD Meet-up group at the Downtown YWCA that is specifically for Allina”'s East Lake Clinic patients. Those begin at 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM. With support from the University of Minnesota, we are happy to announce that we will be providing additional Somali Language Meet-ups on Fridays targeting residents of Hiawatha Towers, Pentagon Apartments, and Cedar/Riverside high-rises. Recruitment for these programs begins in July. We”'re so happy to have the opportunity to grow!
