from the President and Board Chair<br />

<strong>Wilder</strong> champions the elderly, too,<br />

providing dignified and compassionate<br />

in-home health care to thousands of<br />

Saint Paul’s older adults through the<br />

Home Health Agency. George, 89,<br />

has been living independently <strong>for</strong> three<br />

years after suffering a stroke. His Home<br />

Health Nurse, Sue, visits every two<br />

weeks to organize his medicine, check<br />

his blood pressure and arrange what<br />

needs taking care of.<br />

“Sue does everything I need and I’m<br />

lucky to have her as a consistent help,”<br />

said George. “I don’t know how I’d<br />

keep living here without her.”<br />

An avid sports enthusiast in his youth,<br />

George helped establish many high<br />

school sports leagues around the<br />

Twin Cities and is a neighborhood<br />

institution. Without <strong>Wilder</strong>’s home<br />

health services, a loving group of<br />

friends and strong community support,<br />

George’s independent lifestyle would<br />

not be possible.<br />

In touch with independent living.<br />

Home Health Agency<br />

<strong>Wilder</strong> offers one of the area’s<br />

oldest and most respected home<br />

health care agencies, and its<br />

ongoing quality assurance plan<br />

helps ensure that it retains the<br />

highest of standards. <strong>Wilder</strong> has<br />

been providing safe, reliable and<br />

compassionate in-home health<br />

care to Saint Paul’s older adults<br />

<strong>for</strong> more than 20 years.<br />

The Home Health Agency<br />

is part of <strong>Wilder</strong>’s Community<br />

Services <strong>for</strong> the Elderly, which<br />

serves thousands of people<br />

each year. <strong>Wilder</strong>’s services help<br />

provide the chance <strong>for</strong> these<br />

clients to live with independence<br />

and dignity, and to remain active<br />

in their own communities. For<br />

family caregivers, it can bring<br />

peace of mind knowing that<br />

their loved ones are receiving<br />

quality care and services.<br />
