UnitedHealthcare and Rebuilding Together Twin Cities Make Renovations to the Minnesota Veterans Home
MINNEAPOLIS (July 30, 2014) —
UnitedHealthcare employees teamed up with Rebuilding Together Twin Cities today to make several renovations at the Minnesota Veterans Home - Minneapolis.
Minnesota Veterans Home - Minneapolis is an organization dedicated to providing Minnesota’s veterans and their families with high-quality and dignified health care in a nurturing and engaging environment. The home is located on a 53-acre wooded campus that contains 291 skilled nursing beds and 50 domiciliary beds in private and semiprivate rooms.
Volunteers spent the day building a weather-protected bus shelter, installing pavers in the picnic area, creating wheelchair-accessible areas on the grounds, doing general landscaping and installing a new flagpole. When the work was complete, a group of local veterans performed a flag-raising ceremony and enjoyed an ice cream social with the UnitedHealthcare volunteers, Minnesota Veterans Home residents and local public officials.
“It is the mission of Rebuilding Together to improve the lives of low-income homeowners by executing critical repairs and safety modifications in their homes,” said Kathy Greiner, executive director of Rebuilding Together Twin Cities. “Today, by partnering with UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans, we are able to perform these services on a much larger scale and make a significant impact within the local veteran community, to whom we owe so much.”
“UnitedHealthcare is grateful for the opportunity to partner with Rebuilding Together to enhance the quality of life for the veterans at the Minnesota Veterans Home,” said Kevin Carlson of UnitedHealthcare. “Serving these heroes, at work or in our community, is more than a job – it’s an honor.”
