Legislative Day at the Capitol |
|
In 2013 more than 80 volunteers in hospitals and care centers converged on the State Capitol April 10th, to meet with their legislators and advocate for hospitals and other health care services. The volunteers took part in HCAM's annual “Day at the Capitol,” a collaborative effort supported by the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) and Aging Services of Minnesota.
“Clearly, HCAM volunteers are indispensable ambassadors for hospitals,” said Lawrence Massa, MHA president & CEO.

“Aging Services of Minnesota has a deep respect for the dedicated service HCAM members bring each day to our communities across the state,” said Gayle Kvenvold, Aging Services of Minnesota president & CEO.
To coincide with the day’s activities, Gov. Mark Dayton proclaimed April 10th as “Health Care Volunteer Day” in Minnesota (see proclamation). HCAM President LaDean Moen noted that HCAM represents more than 21,000 volunteers who serve at more than 100 hospitals and aging services care centers across Minnesota. More than 1.5 million hours of service are valued at more than $34 million. Moen added, “In addition, HCAM volunteers raised more than $6.5 million to fund projects that improve the quality of health care in Minnesota. Of course, we are thrilled that Gov. Dayton would proclaim a day in honor of health care volunteers.
