Do you love to laugh? Are you a fan of game shows and trivia? Is making an impact on your community important to you? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, keep reading!
Join us for a night of roaring laughter and endless entertainment at our annual fundraising gala – the Harvest Ball. The fun begins at 5:00 PM and lasts until 9:30 PM on October 11th, at the Little Falls Ballroom. Purchase your tickets here.
Sassy Lassy Trivia – our entertainers for the night – will be taking us on a trivia adventure and challenging us to a game of Survey Says (sort of like Family Feud). Sassy Lassy is a group of hilarious, energetic, creative people who believe laughter and camaraderie are the best parts of being human, and we happen to agree!
If playing games aren’t your thing and you’d rather just watch the show, you are totally welcome to do just that. We encourage you to get involved however you feel comfortable, even if it’s from the crowd.
Grab your friends, your family, or come alone for a night that’s sure to leave your belly sore from laughter and your heart full of gratitude knowing you’re making a difference in your community.
All proceeds from the night go to Horizon Health, Inc. of Morrison County to help serve our local seniors and the community. As a nonprofit, Horizon Health depends on your donations to meet our programming and service needs. It’s through fundraising events, annual campaigns, volunteer service, and our dedicated staff that we’re able to succeed. Without people like you attending events like the Harvest Ball, we wouldn’t be able to do the work we do and our reach wouldn’t be as far.
Thank you for your support and we hope you have a roaring good time at the Ball.
It is important to us at Horizon Health that we highlight our dedicated employees and help you learn more about the people who make our services great. In this edition of employee spotlight, you will meet Angie Athman, a licensed social worker for our hospice care, and Kelsey Benson, the care coordinator with Horizon Health.
All About Angie
With 12 years as a social worker under her belt, the last 6 of which have been spent working in hospice at Horizon Health, Angie Athman is a valued employee. Nevertheless, she is humble about her position. Angie says her favorite part of her job is the peace it brings her. She says working to serve the aging population is an honor and brings into perspective how precious life really is. While she does think working with end of life patients can be hard, Angie says she is grateful for Horizon’s supportive workplace where her coworkers are like family and the inspirational stories she hears from her elderly patients. When asked if there is anything she feels needs to be known about her position, Angie says that besides her job duties, she runs two caregiver support groups and provides community support to those nearing a hospice situation with a loved one. Angie invites anyone who could use her help to reach out to Horizon Health Hospice at 320-468-2788.
Keeping Up With Kelsey
Also a licensed social worker, our care coordinator Kelsey has done a fabulous job since starting at Horizon Health. Kelsey previously worked in a nursing home and enjoyed serving the elderly population. This led her to pursue social work at Horizon Health. She says her favorite part of her job is connecting families to resources they might not have otherwise had that make their lives easier. The rewarding part is making connections and helping people with compassion and a helpful heart. Kelsey says she really knows her elderly patients on a personal level and values building those relationships!
These two wonderful women make our hospice care more empathetic, more effective, and more supportive for our patients and their families. We are proud to shine a spotlight on Angie and Kelsey!
