Benedictine Living Community-Crookston is hosting a Legislative Social on Friday, July 28, at 10: a.m. in the library off the main south entrance of the “Villa.” Executive Director Lindsey Erdman and Foundation Director Cassie Rudie will be greeting House Representative Debra Kiel and Senate Minority Leader Mark Johnson, who were instrumental in seeing through the last-minute passage a much-needed emergency relief bill adding $300 million specifically for skilled nursing facilities. This investment came at a crucial time as skilled nursing facilities across the state have been overwhelmed with extreme staffing challenges, COVID crisis management, and unstainable financial bottom lines causing regional and statewide closures.
Benedictine will be celebrating the commitment of Representative Kiel and Senator Johnson with time for conversations and coffee for constituents to visit with their legislators while enjoying Benedictine’s hospitality.
