Raffles, silent auctions, door prizes and a night full of trivia: it’s all in store October 11th.
Join us at the Little Falls Ballroom along Highway 27 in Little Falls. It’s not just a great cause, but sure to be a fun night on the town.
After a social hour and dinner of traditional baked chicken and sausage, the main event will feature Sassy Lassy Trivia, including a special game called Survey Says, similar to Family Feud. It’s like bringing your favorite game shows to Morrison County – and you can join in on the fun!
You don’t have to be a trivia person to have fun on October 11th. You might find yourself playing along anyway or simply enjoying the show.
Tickets are $35 through September 26th, and $40 through October 11th, available at Horizon Health, Little Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau, Goldsmith Jewelers and Farmers & Merchants State Bank, or online at horizon-health-inc.networkforgood.com.
If you can’t attend, you can always support Horizon Health by making a donation.

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!
