Join us for our 2nd annual In Harmony Designer Handbag Bingo on March 1st!
The goal of this event is to raise funding for In Harmony Daycare–Horizon Health Inc.’s 4-star parent aware rated daycare program. In Harmony Daycare offers Little Falls and the surrounding areas a secure and fun environment to transition children to the next stage of life. We offer STEM and Literacy curriculums, as well as physical activity and socializing with their young peers.
Last year, some of our daycare kids had a great time playing bingo and helping us do some of our tasks. It was a great feeling having us all together–helping, having fun, and meeting grandparents and friends of the families.
The big draw of this event is, of course, the fabulous designer handbags from Coach, Michael Kors, and Kate Spade as fabulous prizes–but this event isn’t just for ladies. We had many men come to last year’s event, and they had a wonderful time! Other prizes include raffles and donations from local shops.
This event will take place at the Little Falls VFW. Along with ten rounds of bingo, dinner will be included in the ticket price–pulled pork sandwich, chips, and cake–prepared by the VFW chefs.
Cost per ticket is a steal at $30 if purchased before February 15th, and $40 until the day of the event. Players must be 18 years of age or older and must present a valid ID to claim a prize.
Doors will open at 5 PM and bingo begins at 6 PM. Get your tickets here.
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!
