Introducing the Winners of the Health Care Homes Innovation Awards
Winners of the first Health Care Homes Innovation Awards were honored on April 3, 2018 at the MDH Health Care Homes annual Learning Days event at the Continuing Education and Conference Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Innovation Awards were created to honor health care home teams or individuals that have achieved outstanding results and improved community health through whole person care, team based care, community partnership, quality improvement and health equity.
 Courage Kenny / Allina Advanced Primary Care Clinic, Golden Valley, MN
The Courage Kenny Advanced Primary Care Clinic works with a complex patient population that typically experiences not only disabilities, but multiple chronic health conditions and often social factors such as poverty, limited insurance, and poor access to transportation, accessible housing and durable medical equipment. Their health care home team coordinated care and services and achieved outstanding results, including improved physical and mental health, high patient satisfaction, and significantly reduced client hospitalizations and hospital days.
