Courage Center’s Health Care Home was one of 11 individuals and organizations honored by Department of Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson for outstanding contributions to human services program clients.
Jesson said the Commissioner’s Circle of Excellence Award winners stand out among the many individuals and organizations on the front lines throughout the state, providing critical human services programs and promoting healthy and productive communities.
Courage Center's health care home for people with disabilities was specifically recognized as follows: “For the past two years, Courage Center has provided a health care home, coordinating the primary care needs of its clients with physical disabilities. The project was initially funded by a grant from DHS and has received high satisfaction ratings from participants.”
The award recipients were recognized at a ceremony at the Elmer L. Andersen Human Services Building in St. Paul on Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. Courage Center CEO Jan Malcolm is shown here accepting the award from Commissioner Jesson.
