Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation Grants $4.6 Million for New Dental Clinic at Hennepin County Medical Center
New Clinic Will Increase Patient Access to Oral Health Care by 60%
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (March 1, 2016)—Today, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement between the Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation and the Hennepin Healthcare System to create a new dental clinic funded by a $4.6 million grant from the Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation. In recognition of the leadership grant, the clinic will be named the Delta Dental Oral Health Center at HCMC.
The Delta Dental Oral Health Center at HCMC will be located in the new $220.8 million clinic and specialty building, which will consolidate HCMC’s existing downtown clinics in one state of the art, six-story facility. The grant will also fund in-clinic dental services for the highly complex patients who receive care in the HCMC Coordinated Care Clinic.
HCMC and the Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation share a long-standing commitment and partnership to improve oral health, as well as the overall health for those individuals and families most in need. A few good examples of the partnership to improve oral health are the collective effort to add preventive dental services to HCMC’s Brooklyn Park Clinic, and the coordinated dental referrals in the emergency department to help patients find regular, less expensive dental care.
“We are extremely excited to partner with such an outstanding organization committed to delivering greater access to oral health care. We believe the development of the Delta Dental Oral Health Center at HCMC will be an important step to help address unmet needs,” said Rodney Young, Chief Executive Officer and President at Delta Dental of Minnesota and Chair, Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation.
The Delta Dental Oral Health Center at HCMC will see and treat the 85% of HCMC’s dental patients who are covered by public programs, are uninsured, or qualify as low income residents. In addition, the clinic will provide enhanced patient-centered care for all patients, especially children and people with special needs. The Delta Dental Oral Health Center at HCMC will increase oral health care access by approximately 60%, or an estimated additional 11,000 visits annually, for a total of 27,500 patient visits per year.
The Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation grant provides approximately one-half of the capital investment to create the clinic, improve infrastructure, equipment and provide some operational funding. The grant enables HCMC to expand capacity in the center to a total of 30 treatment rooms and two consult rooms with teledentistry capabilities. It will also support creating a state-of-the-art lab, expanded space for advanced dental education, improve accessibility for patients with special needs and the latest technology for video interpreters. The satellite dental room in the Coordinated Care Clinic will be used for an estimated 1,100 annual dental visits per year.
“This grant makes it possible to greatly expand access for the most underserved patients,” said Mary Seieroe, DDS, HCMC Chief of Dentistry. “The support from the Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation enables us to create an oral healthcare center of excellence in our new medical clinic and specialty center. This partnership will help HCMC lead in establishing best practices for integration of dental and medical care.”
Delta Dental’s involvement with HCMC is part of several other strategic community investments to improve oral health across the state. Recognizing the statewide needs for better dental access, Delta Dental of Minnesota Foundation supports and partners with over 100 communities throughout the Twin Cities and in greater Minnesota to tackle barriers to quality dental care access.
About HCMC:
Hennepin County Medical Center is a nationally recognized Level I Adult Trauma Center and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center with the largest emergency department in Minnesota. It is operated by Hennepin Healthcare System, Inc., a subsidiary corporation of Hennepin County. The comprehensive academic medical center and public teaching hospital and clinic system includes a 484-bed acute care hospital and primary care and specialty clinics located downtown and South Minneapolis and surrounding suburban communities.

Above: St. Catherine student, Alexandra Kerlin, interviews Rep. Phyllis Kahn
The phrase, “All politics is local,” is commonly associated with the legendary Massachusetts Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill who entered the political fray back in 1935. The phrase implies that a politician’s success is directly tied to her ability to understand and influence the issues of her constituents, sometimes mundane and everyday, rather than focusing on more universal concerns.
However there are times when this principle is out of whack with reality – for example when large issues that impact society as a whole intersect the lives of those living in a defined geographic area.
Such seems to be the track record of Minnesota State Representative Phyllis Kahn, who for the past 21 years has represented District 60B, which covers a large swath of both the west and east sides of the Central Riverfront including St. Anthony Main and the entire University of Minnesota campus.
While dutifully serving the needs of this lush riverfront district by obtaining funding for parks, trails, historic preservation, and the expansion of community and urban forests, Kahn has also fought indefatigably for such universal issues as health, environment, and women’s rights, setting precedents that expand to lives of citizens beyond our modest borders.
Entering politics in 1972 when women were mostly relegated to the roles of wife and mother Kahn had already experienced gender bias head on.
“Oh yes, there are more than a few incidents of pure gender discrimination in my journey. Early on, while applying for grad school a male interviewer told me there was no hope for me – that I should just go home and be a housewife. Later, after I’d proved him wrong, I still had to use the name of a male colleague in order to apply for a prestigious grant in my field of science.”
Kahn won that grant earning her doctorate in the male dominated field of biophysics from Yale University and a Master of Public Health from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. And, yes, Phyllis Kahn was a wife and mother of two!
This past Monday I sat with Kahn and St. Catherine student, Alexandra Kerlin, at Wilde Roast Café in St. Anthony Main to learn more about her long career in public service and her views on science, technology, public health and women’s rights.
Opportunely, Kerlin questioned Kahn on a more personal note about how someone her age, specifically a young woman, could make a difference in society, and Kahn presented an equally personal three-pronged response.
“First of all,” she advised, “never be afraid to be involved. Don’t be relegated to the back of the room and always encourage other women. We need to support each other.”
But, Kahn added, for women to raise the bar they must also create strong coalitions across the board.
“I learned early in my legislative career how to form strong alliances with my fellow legislators, male and female, Democrat and Republican. One piece of legislation of which I’m very proud was forged with Republican Keith Downey. Together we hammered out a law to revamp the State’s antiquated computer systems, thereby facilitating more open, transparent and accessible communications for elected officials, staffers and citizens alike. This kind of lawmaking can only happen when you forge solid working relationships across the aisle and the gender divide.”
Finally, Kahn strongly advocates that ordinary citizens become involved in the political process. “That is one certain way to make a difference.”
The more people participate – the more democratic is our society. The most obvious way to do that this week is for all Minnesotans to find their caucus locations and get involved. You can do this by finding your local site. The Secretary of State’s office has prepared a handy caucus finder and there is an online caucus tip sheet prepared by a former Capitol staffer.
Kahn, who is running for another term, understands the value and the impact of full throttle involvement. Attending Minnesota’s legendary caucus process allows every citizen to hear and be heard.
Susan Schaefer can be reached at susan@millcitymedia.org.
If you want to be part of the process, gather with your neighbors Tuesday night, March 1, and caucus! Not sure where to participate? Use this handy locater by simply entering your zip code and street number: http://caucusfinder.sos.state.mn.us/. It gives both the Republican and Democratic location associated with your home address.
A caucus is a local gathering where voters decide which candidate in their party to support for the ticket (Hillary or Bernie; Trump or Cruz, for example). The caucus format favors candidates who have a dedicated and organized following because those devoted volunteers can exert influence in the open setting of a caucus.
MinnPost helps us understand the process in this recent article: The 5 things you'll want to know if you're thinking about caucusing in Minnesota.

Via a February 24 Hennepin County e-newsletter:
Starting Tuesday, March 1, westbound lanes of Washington Avenue (County Road 152) in downtown Minneapolis will be closed from Second Avenue South to Hennepin Avenue to begin upfront utility relocation work associated with Hennepin County’s road reconstruction project.
Utility crews will be working in this area with a detour in place until later this summer, when they will move further east on Washington Avenue to complete their work. This utility relocation work is to be completed in 2016.
Following immediately behind the utility crews, Hennepin County will be reconstructing Washington Avenue between Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Avenue South.
This detour for motorists and bicyclists will follow Second Avenue South, Third Street South, Hennepin Avenue and then return to Washington Avenue. There is no detour for pedestrians or eastbound Washington Avenue. A map of the detour is available on the Washington Avenue reconstruction project webpage, www.hennepin.us/washingtonavenue.
Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis and Xcel Energy developed a traffic plan to mitigate impacts and maximize traffic flow around the closure. Signs to direct road users will be posted and traffic control agents will assist at key intersections during peak traffic hours.
Upcoming reconstruction project overview
The county is reconstructing Washington Avenue between Hennepin Avenue and Fifth Avenue South. The reconstruction will improve the driving surface, but also improve safety and better accommodate those who travel through the area. When complete, the project will:
• Add dedicated turn lanes at key intersections
• Provide more space for pedestrians and shorten crossing distances at intersections
• Provide one-way cycle tracks, or protected bike lanes
Additional background and the project layout are available for download on the project webpage, www.hennepin.us/washingtonavenue.
The county currently anticipates its active construction will begin later this summer. The project is slated to be complete in 2017.

The soaring atrium at the heart of architectural firm DLR Group’s downtown Minneapolis office is the perfect setting for the firm’s newest addition – architect and client leader, Damaris Hollingsworth, AIA, LEED AP, who exudes the energy and warmth of her native Brazil. But in spite of her tropical background, Hollingsworth is no shrinking violet.
She proudly tells how she has made a demanding journey as a black girl growing up in the inner city of Sao Paulo, with limited educational opportunities, through the rigors and ranks to become an accomplished architect in the United States. In a field predominantly populated with white male leaders, this is no small feat.
Anyone familiar with the architecture field understands its exacting academics and strict industry licensing requirements, with countless professional exams required to advance. And there’s the infamous tempered (itals mine) glass ceiling. More than many professions, architecture has been a traditionally boys game. Nevertheless, Hollingsworth has her sharp eye firmly on the prize of earning leadership status.
As co-chair for the AIA (American Institute of Architects) MN Women in Architecture Committee, she has plenty of opportunity not only to discuss the gender leadership gap, but also to lead the charge to close it. “In my profession women and men enter at about the same rate – men at 52% and women at 48%,” she explains. “But as the path toward leadership and the C-suite progresses, the rate for women drops drastically.” Many of the biases entail “lots of after hour’s events and old boy style networking.” Yet, even with an active and engaged two-year-old, she is not going to let those obstacles stand in the way to her path to the top.
After nearly ten years at a previous firm, she is pleased with the flexibility and opportunities presented by DLR. Her direct supervisor is a female senior associate and she notes that many female managers surround her. But Hollingsworth believes in co-equity. “I know this isn’t an either or game,” she states. “For women to rise in the ranks of any field, men have to support them. For people of color to thrive, white people have to support them. I believe in making allies.”
She has made quite a few already. Not only is she co-chairing the Women in Architecture Committee, she is an active member of its Diversity Task Force, and co-author of that group’s 2015 Diversity Task Force Report. Most recently, she has been asked to join the Strategic Resource Team for AIA MN, and she is competing to be named one of the top 40 under 40 in Building Design + Construction’sprestigious industry magazine. Damaris Hollingsworth is a tour de force.
What is most striking is the pure joy she exudes for her work. She loves the gamut of what it takes to be a great architect – not wanting to be narrow cast as a project manager or designer, she revels in the field’s entire lifecycle. “Master architects did it all – listened to the clients, responded to their needs, designed the right solutions, and oversaw the process. This is what I love to do.” And she’s thrilled to ply her trade in Downtown Minneapolis.
Having joined DLR’s Nicollet Mall location in January, Hollingsworth is exploring the downtown via what she calls, the veins of city – the skyway. “I come from a vibrant metropolis where everyone walks and takes public transportation everywhere. At first, I wondered, ‘Where is everyone?’ and then I discovered the thriving skyway society. I love it. Everyone walking with purpose and determination!” She’s eager to see the cityscape come alive as well, once warm weather brings people to the streets. “I want to take the trains, explore the library, all that this city has to offer.”
Be sure to watch for this vibrant young professional as she lights up our downtown with the pure power of her personality.

I am asking the Mill City community for your support on an issue that is important both to me personally and to our city. Our neighborhood parks are a big part of what makes Minneapolis a special place to live. Unfortunately, they currently face a $15 million per year budget shortfall and, if we do not take action, Minneapolis residents will see a major decline in our beloved park infrastructure and our quality of life.

New tool provides monthly updates on park dedication fee collections, allocations and expenditures
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is proud to announce the successful launch of a new mapping tool that tracks park dedication fee collections, allocations and expenditures.
The park dedication map will be updated monthly. Blue dots represent fees collected, red dots indicate fees have been allocated toward a park project and green dots show where fees have been spent and the project is completed. Click within any of Minneapolis’ 81 neighborhoods for an overview of total fees collected, allocated and spent in a specific neighborhood.
The park dedication fee assesses all new developments in Minneapolis to help pay for park expansion or enhancement, akin to other development fees that support increased strain on infrastructure like sewer, water and roads. Park dedication fees are used by cities across Minnesota and the United States to enhance park systems for new residents or employees moving into the city.
The MPRB, City of Minneapolis and Minnesota Legislature approved the park dedication ordinance. It went into effect in Minneapolis on Jan. 1, 2014. Additional park dedication facts:
- Fees must be spent in the same neighborhood as the development assessed.
- Available funds vary widely across the city and are dependent on new development.
- Fees must be spent on park system expansions or enhancements. This includes land acquisition, new recreation facilities or expanded amenities—not rehabilitation or maintenance.
- Fund expenditures must be approved through the MPRB’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
- Affordable housing units are the only type of development exempt from fees. This was determined by the state legislature.
- The MPRB may consider receiving land in lieu of fees. Land-in-lieu must meet the plans and goals of the MPRB and be approved by the Board of Commissioners. This has happened once so far, for a public connection between Second Street and the Mississippi River, also known as a “woonerf.”
- The first allocations were made during the 2016-2021 CIP process in four neighborhoods: Near North, Folwell, Seward and Bryant. The former three will expand playground facilities; the latter will enhance a wading pool.
For more information visit the Park Dedication page on minneapolisparks.org.
