Hennepin Healthcare System, Inc. 701 Park Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55415-1623 Contact Information: Jennifer DeCubellis, CEO 612-873-6248 Jennifer.DeCubellis@hcmed.org Funds requested: $4,598,561.68 Hennepin Healthcare System, Inc. (“Hennepin Healthcare”) is an integrated system of care that includes a nationally recognized Level I Adult and Pediatric Trauma Center, an acute care hospital, a large outpatient Clinic & Specialty Center, as well as primary care clinics across Hennepin County. As the largest safety-net hospital in Minnesota, Hennepin Healthcare predominantly serves a historically marginalized and under-resourced low-income population. Approximately 75% of our patients live at or below the Federal Poverty Line. Hennepin Healthcare’s Congressionally Directed Spending: Construction and Equipment Project will make significant investments in three targeted areas in our healthcare system: community clinics, emergency medical services, and women and children. Investments in these areas will keep resources as close to our communities as possible and make a significant impact for our patients. Construction/alteration projects total $410,500 (plus $63,000 in architect’s fees) and include 1) a remodel of an existing ultrasound room into a mammography room at the East Lake Clinic; 2) the addition of an automatic door opener to an existing door at the East Lake Clinic to make the door ADA compliant; and 3) the build-out of an undeveloped space into two exams rooms at the Whittier Clinic. Equipment requests total $4,125,068.68. We request significant equipment costs across 5 primary care clinics (Brooklyn Park, East Lake, Golden Valley, Richfield, Whittier), and for Emergency Services and Women’s and Children’s services. This equipment represents a very significant investment to our safety-net health system, and to the patients we serve. Equipment requests will support radiology, laboratory, emergency services/life-s
aving equipment, and other equipment needed to modernize our clinics and areas.
