.@HennepinHC is a vital institution and it is because of bipartisan support, strong legislative partners, employees, county leadership and community who showed up with the urgency required that our beloved HCMC remains open. So grateful for our IGR team for leading the charge!

Thanks to everyone who came out this morning to officially celebrate the opening of Cooper playground! Led by community, @MplsWard12 and funded with help from a youth activities grant from @Hennepin this playground will be around for years to come.

Our office was out today at the Indian Health Board’s American Indian Month celebration and resource fair, an annual gathering for celebration, ease and community wellness. Thank you to everyone that came out including local organizations who were present with resources.

Beautiful weather today made for a great start to monthly litter pick up across Lake Street. Thank you volunteers, @MplsWard9, Kali Pliego, and @AllinaHealth for your commitment to keeping the corridor clean. Please join us for future cleanups at some point this summer/fall! 🚮

Flowers to Hennepin board Chair @HennepinD2 for leading a thoughtful State of the County address. In spite of tremendous stressors impacting large counties, we appreciate a moment of reprieve to reflect on how we continue to transform essential local services for the better.

I joined an environmental justice bus tour led by local leader and friend, Roxxanne O'Brien. With nearly a dozen stops, we discussed and learned more about current and former sites of toxicity. I would highly recommend this tour, especially to my colleagues in public policy.

We remain committed to securing the funding necessary to keep our hospital operational for years to come.

Whenever I get a chance to show the inner workings of Hennepin Healthcare, I do. Thank you @IlhanMN, @KatieJonesMpls, @go4esther, and I-35W bridge collapse survivor Julie Graves for joining us on a tour of HCMC, a hospital that is critical to all of us and this region of the U.S.

Honored to receive the Long-term Guardianship For The Community award by The Cultural Wellness Center School of Elders. This recognition is meaningful in so many ways. We must always center community well being, in addition to our own. Thank you for this heartfelt recognition.

Neighborhood Day is a big deal in our city. Saturday I popped into Seward Neighborhood Group and Prospect Park Association to share updates and hear about all the incredible work these communities are doing for our neighbors.

The D4 Team stopped by the annual Minnehaha Duck Race 🐥 where thousands of ducks race down Minnehaha Creek. It was packed with live music, local food stands, games and more! Thank you Field Regina Northrop Neighborhood Group for continuing the tradition!

Meet me at the market! 🥬🫑🥦🧅🧄 Today was opening day for the Midtown Farmers Market and it was packed! Special thanks to Corcoran Neighborhood Organization for all you do to bring the market to life, T.O.U.C.H Outreach for keeping Lake Street safe & all of our local farmers.

Dedicated, ongoing funding is the path forward to save HCMC.

Outside of HCMC is a 24 hour vigil protesting closure of one of the most comprehensive hospitals in the Midwest. Federal disinvestment from healthcare is pushing hospitals to the brink. For the sake of residents across Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas & more-HCMC must stay open.

@JeffreyJLunde @HennepinD3 😂😂

@D4Commish @HennepinD3 Clearly I need to work on my poker face. Awesome visit and much needed.

Animal Therapy Day is April 30 and it was a pleasure to have our friends from Pet Partners join us in recognizing their efforts through an annual proclamation authored by Cmsr. @HennepinD3 and I. These animals bring pure JOY to our offices and residents who get their support. 🐾

Great townhall tonight in Ward 11 with @SenatorZMohamed! Gave updates on bills moving through the Capitol, the latest on HCMC and how we're making zero waste a reality. Thank you to all who came out!
