Look For Us at the MN State Fair!
Monday, August 20, 2018
Are you ready for the Great Minnesota Get Together? We sure are! With over two million attending the 12 day event each year, the Minnesota State Fair becomes one of the most popular attractions in the Midwest. And we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it. Once again this year, we will be scattered throughout the fairgrounds representing many different aspects of our health care services. From Medicare to mental health to veggie car races, we bring many conversations to fair-goers with fun activities, dedicated booth volunteers and sought-after giveaways.
HealthPartners is proudly sponsoring the Healthy Local foods exhibit. We will feature a fun and interactive children’s area focused on fruits and veggies. Be sure to check out the Veggie Race Track and get a photo with the Chomp cutout.

During Governor’s Fire Prevention Day, Regions Burn Center will be promoting fire prevention and burn safety.

Regions Hospital is also the official first aid provider to the State Fair for the entire 12 days. They are located at the West End Market and the 4H Building. Medical treatment at the first aid stations is free and staffed by EMTs, paramedics, nurses and doctors from Regions Hospital.
Saturday, August 25 – TRIA
TRIA will have interactive games and activities to learn about their orthopedic services. And be sure to participate in our mobile Sportsology exhibit!

NAMI-MN came together with the State Fair Advisory Council on Mental Health and Subcommittee on Children’s Mental Health to create Mental Health Day. Make It OK and Melrose will be there promoting our mental health services across the organization. Be sure to use #mentalhealthforall when posting on social!
