A Family Breakfast

While I certainly can understand the draw of a beautiful sunrise, I must confess I prefer the sunsets. A morning person, I am not. So why on earth would I be excited about a breakfast meeting, starting as early as 6:30 a.m. on June 7^th?

Because this breakfast meeting is for MVNA – Minnesota Visiting Nurse Agency, one of our longstanding clients. MVNA sends nurses into people's homes, providing a safety net for those who are uninsured or underinsured.

This year, the MVNA "There's No Place Like Home" breakfast included touching stories from a nurse who works with teen mothers. We heard from the mother of a former hospice patient, and saw a video highlighting the work MVNA nurses do every day in people's homes. We also heard from MVNA's new CEO: Jen Van Liew, who introduced us to her family, and shared a bit about her first weeks at MVNA.

And this year, we brought our family to hear about MVNA's family! Special thanks to Alicia's mother and Mary's sister and sister-in-law for joining us to hear about the good work that MVNA does every day.
