Habitat for Humanity is often associated with supporting individual families to find affordable housing. It’s a mission that HealthPartners colleagues have contributed to for many years.

This fall, colleagues from across HealthPartners and Park Nicollet logged more than 245 volunteer hours to help with a Habitat build at The Heights in St. Paul. They taped, painted, fixed wall dents, installed drywall and more.

We understand that 80% of health is shaped outside of clinics and hospitals, and a stable home is crucial for well-being — it all begins with having a roof over your head!
