I agree that both of these initiatives are very valuable and I, like Andrea am very interested in the Serious Illness Coalition.  I can offer to be involved as a MHCA representative if you are still needing a volunteer 😊

Thanks Kathy!  I am very interested in the Serious Illness Coalition, I would offer to be the representative but I am at capacity for additional committees.  I definitely think MHCA should be there. Is it open to anyone?  My Hospice Director might be interested. 

Thanks again

Andrea

I have a couple of updates that are timely so while we just met this week, I wanted to get this out now.

1) Stratis Health and MN Network of Hospice and Palliative Care (MNHPC) are partnering to lead a MN based Serious Illness Coalition. They are inviting other organizations to join a launch committee and help shape the coalition’s work. The goal is to launch this effort at the MNHPC conference in April. I believe MHCA should be at the table and suggest we have a rep on the launch committee. Please let me know by early next week if you have a different opinion. Otherwise, I will move forward with that.

2) The MN Leadership Council on Aging which MHCA is a member of hosts an annual Summit. This year’s (December 11) theme is on Age-Friendly MN – Engaging All Voices and Communities. I attend and encourage you to attend if this topic is of interest to you – or share it with others who may be interested. A flyer is attached. The registration cost is $75.
