We are committed to combating malnutrition. As you may know, vitamin and mineral deficiencies are an insidious form of malnutrition that affect over 2 billion people worldwide, stunting growth and learning, weakening immune systems, and disproportionately affecting the world’s most vulnerable women and children. 1 in 2, or 372 million, preschool-aged children and 2 in 3, or 1.2 billion, women of reproductive age worldwide suffer from at least one vitamin or mineral deficiency. We are laser focused on adding vitamins and minerals to the most widely consumed staple foods in the world: wheat and maize flour and rice. Best estimates are that 30% of industrially processed wheat flour, 40% of maize and less than 10% of rice are fortified. Our team wakes up each morning on a quest to make those numbers 100%. The costs are miniscule and the benefits enormous. Please help us if you are willing and able.

It's #ChildLifeMonth, which makes it a perfect time to share why we support our friends at Children's Hospital of Michigan with Child Life Services. Studies show Child Life improves a child and their family's overall hospital experiences, reduces length of stays, decreased sedation needs, and more. These healthcare professionals provide education of diagnosis, treatment, and procedures at a level that the child can understand and they help kids process big emotions through difficult times. Child Life relies on philanthropy to provide care - and kids rely on Child Life for hope and healing. Learn more about this important work, here:

National Public Health Week Starts Today!! During each day of National Public Health Week, the MPH team has created a one pager that focuses on a particular public health topic. The purpose is to help to highlight how each of us can make a difference on that topic. These areas are critical to our future success in creating the healthiest nation. Think about what you can do to help. Please see below to learn more about Civic Engagement and my challenge to you. Learn more at nphw.org. #nationalpublichealthweek Civic Engagement Challenge   What is civic engagement? Civic engagement is the formal and informal actions that we and our communities take to identify and address problems and shapes our opportunities to be healthy. By taking actions to get more civically engaged, like voting, we exercise our right to make decisions about our communities, like whether our neighborhoods have walkable sidewalks and how much funding goes to nonprofit organizations to help vulnerable populations. By engaging in professional or community service we help to improve a community’s health. A recent analysis of civic engagement and state health outcomes from 1996 to 2020 showed that in states where people are more civically engaged and vote more, public health outcomes are better.   I challenge you to become more civically engaged! 1.    Vote and help someone else vote in the next election within your community (e.g. provide transportation or fill in for them at work). 2.    Volunteer in your community. 3.    Serve on a committee that affects the health of your community – contact your local schools, churches, non-profit groups, state public health organization for opportunities.   Share your experiences with family and friends!

Listen to Trellis president and CEO, @Dawn Simonson, present about the Juniper Community Care Hub at the March 8 Legislative Task Force on Aging. The Juniper Community Care Hub is an innovative way to help older adults and family caregivers in Minnesota receive the services that they need by providing an influx of resources and other support. It uses a framework that is central to how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Administration for Community Living think about integrating healthcare and social care. According to Simonson: “Minnesota is uniquely positioned to move the hub model to a scale that will have a real impact on the state budget. We're so lucky we have all the ingredients: world-class health systems, thoughtful healthcare payers, innovative government, and a strong network of nonprofit organizations spread throughout our state and supported by one of the country's best philanthropic and volunteer environments. It's time to leverage these important assets.” @trellisconnects https://buff.ly/48LKRZH

Have you wondered why we often talk about monthly giving? Do you ever think: How could even a small gift each month help? Why does it make a difference if I give once or twice a year versus each month? A monthly gift enables us to plan. We can count on a steady stream of income each month so we can plan our operations accordingly. It means we can hire permanent staff, retain consistent clinic days week to week, supply our pharmacy with the same formulary month to month. Most importantly, it means we can be a reliable partner for our patients who count on us. Did you know that more than 300 patients seek care from us every month? Imagine if we could match that number with just as many monthly givers! We currently have 30 faithful monthly givers ❤️ Thanks to each and every one of you! Let's do this! Are you ready to directly support health and healing in the highlands? A monthly gift of any amount has an impact! See just how far your contribution will go: $10 a month provides a patient with a teeth cleaning $25 a month provides a chronic illness patient their monthly check-up $50 a month provides breakfast and snack to two students for a month $100 a month provides referrals and social services to 20 families Follow the link below to begin giving today… https://lnkd.in/gYr3x9mZ
