Letter from CEO / Letter from Board Chair
My Dear Friends,
Dear Friends of MVNA,
Thanks to all of you, MVNA served thousands of
families, individuals, and organizations in 2009
despite the volatility of the economy.
In my message last year, I shared with you
three big challenges that we would face in
2009-2010: the flu pandemic, health care
reform and finding a new CEO. I can report
with some confidence that we are on target
with all of these challenges.
We made more than 100,000 visits to pregnant women,
children, ill and disabled adults, including serving
adults and elderly in their last stages of life through
our subsidiary company, Hospice of the Twin Cities. In
addition, we gave more than 170,000 immunizations,
including flu, pneumonia, and H1N1 vaccines at
1,800 clinics, and provided nursing consultations at
41 charter schools and 226 day care centers.
In addition, we continue to be debt free, pay our bills on time, and for the first
time in 20 years (outside of Hospice) have been able to save a little for a rainy day.
I say thank you because without the support of the Minneapolis and Hennepin
County Health Departments, United Way, all of the organizations that developed
contracts with us, all of the residents who decided to get their flu shots from our
agency, and the generous in-kind and cash donations from our donors, we could
not have served so many residents in our community.
This organization belongs to you, the people. It is the partnership between
government and the community that allows MVNA to continue its mission and
service to the vulnerable populations and the underserved.
MVNA is now 108 years old because of the values in this community.
With your continued involvement and support, we look forward to a
productive 2010.
Our nurses were everywhere, providing the
H1N1 and seasonal flu shots to thousands
of clients. With our public health partners,
we monitored and participated in the
debate and passage of health care reform.
Internal restructuring is ongoing to prepare for the transition to a new CEO.
A Search Committee of the Board has been formed. We recently engaged a national
search firm to aid us in finding a new leader for MVNA. They have begun their work, and
we hope to interview candidates and make a choice this fall. Many of you, our partners,
will be approached for input. We welcome your thoughts as we move forward in this
daunting challenge.
Replacing Mary Ann Blade will not be an easy task. She has been with MVNA for almost
20 years and will leave a proud legacy. She brought the organization from near oblivion to
a leadership organization in the field of Public Health. There will be events in the coming
months to show our appreciation, but I want to take this opportunity to thank her on
behalf of the Board, staff, partners and especially our clients. Thank you, Mary Ann!
In closing, I want to also thank you, our donors and volunteers, for your continuing
support for MVNA. We could not carry out our mission without your help.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Blade, CEO

Chair, Board of Directors

Stories from the Heart...
Family Health
A Little Girl’s Fight for Survival
Family and Public Health Nurse Home Visits:
In Somalia, 5-year-old Ayaan’s* family owned a ranch, but due to the unrest in
their country, they lost their ranch and their home, leaving them with very little.
Ayaan became malnourished. In desperation to save her life, her parents scraped
together what money they could and sent her to live with her aunt in the U.S.
• Recently delivered mothers and their infants
• Pregnant and parenting teens
• High-risk pregnant women
• Unexpected infant loss and
grief support
When she arrived in the U.S., Ayaan was infested with parasites and was so
malnourished that her hair had all fallen out and her skin was bright red, flaky and
painful to touch. She was immediately admitted to the hospital, and remained
there for over a month. While in the hospital, little Ayaan was diagnosed with
dysthymia – a form of depression.
• Acute and chronically ill children:
 Newborn Neonatal Intensive Care Unit follow-up
 Post hospitalization follow-up
 Children with disabilities or chronic illness
 Lead poisoning and pediatric asthma
• Specialized contract programs
• Interpreter services
• Family Health Aide/Community Health Worker
When she was released to live with her aunt, she was so undersize for her age, her
2½-year-old cousin was bigger than Ayaan, and would push her around.
Now, when MVNA public health nurse Tracy* visits Ayaan, she sees a giggly
5-year-old. “More like 5 going on 12!” Ayaan draws pictures of herself, and she
loves singing the ABCs and “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”
2009 Family Health Care Service Facts
Tracy helps Ayaan’s aunt with her follow-up treatment and medications, as well as
providing assistance in navigating the medical system and connecting the family
with community resources.
• 23,838 visits made - 5,897 clients served
Ayaan’s hair is beginning to grow back. Her skin is still flaky, but no longer painful
and red – a sign that it is healing. “Developmentally, Ayaan’s an average 5-yearold,” says Tracy. And now, the little girl a toddler could knock over is preparing to
start school.
• 350 average referrals received per month
*Names have been changed to preserve client and nurse confidentiality.
• 5,778 Interpreter visits made
• Child care consultation services

226 child care centers served

143 workshops/classes taught - 2,428 attendees
• School health consultation services

MVNA provides home visits by Certified Public Health Nurses and Family
Health Aides, giving family-centered and community-based nursing services
to clients from diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Healthy
birth outcomes and positive early parent-child relationships are the focus along
with the healthy development of infants and young children, injury and illness
prevention and a safe living environment.

Club 100...A Community of Caring
and Adopt -A -Family
Sleeping...Like a Baby Should!
Annalee* and her 3-month-old infant daughter, Trina*, had to move in with
six other family members after her rental home went into foreclosure. With
space at a premium in her new place, she slept on the sofa with her daughter.
This sleep environment posed great danger of injury to the infant.
Club 100 and Adopt-A-Family filled 28% more requests
by nurses in 2009 (3,822) than in 2008 (2,742)!
Her nurse Joan* observed that Annalee is a very caring mother and is
challenged by the chaos and lack of space with this new living arrangement.
Annalee hopes this arrangement will be temporary as she searches for an
affordable apartment.
The nurse wanted to address the immediate safety issues about the sleeping
situation, on her next visit, she brought a portable crib (play yard) paid for by
community donations. During that visit, Annalee and the nurse set up the crib
next to the sofa and had Trina try it out. Trina took to her new crib as any baby
would…with a nap…a nap in safe place.
Giving Opportunities
Over a thousand people each year provide funds and in-kind donations
that support about 4,000 requests from our nurses for non-medical
items – the important items – some big, some small, that bridge a gap
in the lives of our clients. This support affects the lives of children,
parenting families and older adults. Thank you for your support!
Club 100 receives requests for essential non-medical items such as:
• $20 grocery gift cards
• Infant formula
• Nutritional drinks for older adults
• Portable cribs for a safe sleep environment
• High chairs to support nutrition

Home Health
A Helping Hand for Independence
Home Health Care Nurse Visits:
Frank* is 100 years old. He has congestive heart failure, a history of
abdominal and iliac aneurisms and is legally blind.
Certified Public Health, Registered, and Licensed Practical Nurses implement and coordinate doctors’
orders for specialized care and provide educational support about disease management, symptom control,
and medication management. MVNA Home Health Nurses educate the client on how to perform self-care
with technical procedures, if the client is able to do so. Social Workers provide support and counseling
about finances and community resources. Therapists provide physical, occupational and speech therapy.
Home Health Aides provide assistance with personal care: bathing, grooming, dressing, and homemaking.
But thanks to MVNA, he’s safely living at home, alone and on his own
– just where he wants to be.
An MVNA public health nurse visits him twice per week, while an MVNA
home health aide visits three times per week. Lynne,* his nurse, checks
his weight (watching for dangerous fluid retention), blood pressure
and pulse, and helps him order prescription refills from the VA. His
home health aide, Emily,* helps him shower and shave. She also helps
with day-to-day tasks, like taking out the garbage, washing dishes and
getting the mail. “Emily is amazing, she’s very good,” says Frank.
His MVNA care team has also connected him to additional community
resources. Meals on Wheels brings food five times a week, leaving
him with an extra meal on Friday. His Lifeline button will summon
help immediately if he needs it. And through MVNA’s Club 101 and
Adopt-A-Family, Lynne got him a few things for around the house. Last
Christmas, he received towels, washcloths, bathrobe and slippers, all
in a beautiful blue. “The towels are so big,” says Frank, “and the robe is
so soft.”
Services Available:
• Intermittent skilled, chronic care and maintenance levels of nursing services
• Home Health Aide / Homemaker
• Therapies: I.V., physical, occupational, speech
• Medical social services
• Wound care: post surgical and chronic
• Foot care programs
• Palliative care for advanced and/or terminal illness
• PharmD Services through partnership with University of Minnesota School of Pharmacy
• Lifeline Personal Response System
Facts:
• 35,244 visits made - 1,471 people served
• Average 150 referrals received per month
When Lynne leaves, Frank sees her to the door. “It’s always good to see
you,” he says, wishing her well until her next visit. With a twinkle in his
eye, he promises her, “I’m not going anywhere.”
• 183 Lifeline subscribers
Eligibility:
Anyone residing in Hennepin, Ramsey, near Anoka, and Dakota Counties.

Wellness and Immunizations
Keeping the Community Healthy
MVNA’s Wellness and Immunizations program provides an array of health services
to the community and worksites – from vaccination clinics, to health screenings,
CPR/First Aid classes and Lifeline personal response services. All financial
proceeds generate support care for MVNA clients who are uninsured or
underinsured. It’s a win-win for the community!
In 2009, MVNA mobilized quickly to help stop the spread of the H1N1 influenza
virus. “We worked extensively with five metro area public health departments,
assisting in their H1N1 clinics for ages six months and up,” said Wellness
Director, Mary Carroll. MVNA provided RN vaccinator support staff for 17 mass
immunization H1N1 clinics in a six-week period of time. “In collaborating with the
four county Public Health Departments (Anoka, Dakota, Hennepin, Rice), including
the Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Services, we were able to focus
on children, their families and the flu. Nearly 32,600 people were vaccinated in
these joint efforts,” Carroll stated.
MVNA also held their annual seasonal flu clinics, administering over 140,000
vaccinations at 1,700 (+) clinics including the Minnesota State Fair, grocery stores,
schools, churches and senior housing campuses.

Many local businesses turn to MVNA for assistance in scheduling and hosting
on-site clinics for their employees. For the past 12 years, Emerson Process
Management/Rosemount Inc. has hosted annual MVNA flu shot clinics at its Eden
Prairie and Chanhassen locations.
“Our employees greatly appreciate having nurses on site to get their annual flu
shot. They’re able to take ten minutes out of their day, instead of having to leave
work to go to a doctor’s office,” said Allyson Weber, occupational health manager.
“Employees want to stay healthy, not pass the flu on to co-workers (or their
families) and not miss work.”
MVNA has become a trusted partner each year. “We’ve continued to work with MVNA
because they are very responsive, well organized and dependable,” Weber said.
CPR/AED and First Aid classes available.
MVNA will come to your worksite. Call Cheryl at 612-331-5342 or register

Letter from CEO / Letter from Board Chair
Dear Friends of Hospice of the Twin Cities:
Dear Hospice Friends and Families:
Over the past 17 years, it has truly been an honor and
a pleasure to be a part of the growth and ongoing
development of Hospice of the Twin Cities. I have
witnessed significant change in the hospice profession,
but perhaps none as significant as the changes that
occurred in 2009.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and
the dedicated employees and volunteers
of Hospice of the Twin Cities, I would
like to thank you for your support of, and
partnership with, Hospice of the Twin Cities
throughout the past year.
For the first time since the Medicare Hospice Benefit was
initiated in 1984, the Federal Conditions of Participation
governing hospice providers changed. Hospice of the Twin
Cities re-examined operations to meet more stringent
guidelines for data collection, quality improvement, and care and service
delivery. Stimulated by the challenge of improvement, our prudent planning,
focused leadership, and inspired care giving provided the platform for achieving
positive change and further fueled our pursuit of assuring the provision of
comprehensive, life-affirming hospice care in our community.
Hospice of the Twin Cities strives to enhance
quality of life for individuals and their family
members living with advanced terminal
illness by continuing to explore creative and
innovative approaches to bringing comfort and peace to the last months and
days of life. The development and implementation of exotic pet therapy and
our new Holiday Lights and Limos programs combined with focused attention
to excellent clinical, psychosocial and spiritual and bereavement care enables
us to flourish in our pursuit of excellence in end-of-life care.
Ending my 17-year tenure as the CEO of Hospice of the Twin Cities was another
significant change. In July, I accepted the opportunity to expand my areas of
responsibility to be inclusive of Hospice, Home Care, Palliative Care and new
business development with the Minnesota Visiting Nurse Agency - the Hospice
of the Twin Cities parent organization. While allowing me to continue to pursue
my passion for excellent care and service delivery in homecare and end-of-life
care, this new role provides numerous opportunities to explore how we can
better serve our community-at-large.
Through the support of our health care partners, financial contributors and our
dedicated staff and volunteers, Hospice of the Twin Cities provided care to over
800 patients and their families. Our grief support services reached many more.
As we look to the future, I am confident that the legacy of patient-centered care
will continue.
As we move forward into 2010, we want to thank every officer, employee, and
volunteer who diligently strives to deliver excellent customer service as a
routine course of care. These individuals represent the force that drives our
Hospice program’s ongoing success. Likewise we consider ourselves fortunate to
have supporters and partners like you who believe in Hospice of the Twin Cities
and its commitment to compassionate care at the end of life.
Sincerely,
Lisa Abicht-Swensen, M.H.A.

As Hospice of the Twin Cities grows to meet the needs of those in our
communities who are facing life-limiting illness, we are deeply grateful for your
support. We look forward to a bright future continuing to add quality of life to
each day.

Michael Belzer, MD

Hospice Care
Lights and Limos/Pet Therapy
Accentuating the Positive
Lights and Limos Brings Holiday Cheer
“What are you in the mood for today, Rose*?” asks Rachel* with a smile.
When Karen* became terminally ill with lung cancer with brain metastases
and entered hospice care in November 2009, her daughter Nina* wanted to do
something special for her.
Every time Rachel, a music therapist from Hospice of the Twin Cities, visits Rose
for her weekly music therapy session, she starts with the same question.
“I like “Accentuate the Positive.” I’d like to hear that today,” Rose replies.
Rachel raises her golden guitar to her lap and strums as her bright, warm voice fills
the dining room of Rose’s home. Rose, 89, smiles as her eyebrows dance to the
music. The song she selects today seems more like an affirmation than a musical
preference.
“All the words to that song, I live life like that,” she says.
Rose suffers from congestive heart failure and requires oxygen around the clock.
Despite her heart condition and severely impaired vision and hearing, she is able
to live independently thanks to hospice care workers like Rachel.
“My family wanted me to move to an
apartment, but I am happy here,” explains
Rose, who lives with her two cats. “But with
them taking care of me, and the visits from
Hospice, I feel like I can manage to stay.”
Rose’s latest project: write a song with
Rachel for her great-grandchild, called “Great
Grandma Rose.”
“It’s a joy helping Rose write this song and
share her love of music,” says Rachel. “I know
it is something she treasures that she wants
to give to her family.”
Adds Rose, “I can’t say enough about Rachel!
She’s like an encyclopedia of music, and I
love her visits.”

“Mom was inside all the time,” explained Nina. “Our Hospice of the Twin Cities
social worker knew Mom loved holiday lights and suggested that the Lights and
Limos program would bring Mom some holiday cheer.”
Lights and Limos offers hospice patients and their families holiday lights tours in
limousines donated by local companies, with additional support from businesses
and volunteers.
With Nina and her granddaughter along for the ride, Karen was given a blanket
handmade by volunteers to keep her warm as they toured holiday lights displays.
Though Karen passed away in May, Nina looks back on the experience fondly.
“Mom treasured her limo ride,” said Nina. “We look at the pictures from that night
all the time.”
Friends for Life
“Oh, isn’t he beautiful!” coos Betty,* gazing at the African Gray parrot that Britney*
has just brought to her bedside. The parrot barks, meows and sings as he bops
around. Betty giggles.
Through Hospice of the Twin Cities exotic pet therapy program, pet therapist
Britney has visited Betty with several unique creatures, including a hedgehog and a
chinchilla. On her next visit, Betty is hoping for the python.
Betty’s love affair with animals goes back to her childhood when she kept company
with raccoons, gophers and any other animal she could find. She even befriended a
mountain lion named Tang who would follow her and purr like a house cat.
Now Betty is in hospice care, confined to a hospital bed. But the animals can still
visit her.
“Animals were my constant companions,” says Betty. “They’d talk to me and I’d talk
to them.”

2010-11 Influenza Immunization Clinics:
MVNA will be offering flu and pneumonia vaccinations at many locations throughout the metro area and greater
Minnesota. Clinics are staffed by MVNA Registered Nurses.
All proceeds go directly to support the home nurse visits to the ill and disabled adults and elderly in our community, as well as mothers
and children in need. Your annual seasonal flu immunization helps protect you and your family from the flu, and it does something good
for the community!
We want you to feel good about choosing MVNA as your flu shot provider. Check out the hopeful faces of our
Minnesota families by visiting our website at www.MVNAFluShot.org and click on our short 2-minute film,
“Every Flu Shot Matters!”

in-need. Please contact Michelle Lichtig for more information at 612-617-4600.
