I look forward to sharing resources with them in the future and learning from them. I liked her suggestion of meeting over lunch some time.
I will be sure to share BOTK resources like the calendar and activity sheets with them.]]> 2018-04-28 00:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256182322 mary_mischke https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256506765 The 3 Resource Navigators at Children's Hospital and Clinic provide human, social, financial, food, energy and community capital for outpatient families with children. Through a carefully constructed referral system that begins with a mini needs assessment during well-child visits, the Navigators assist families with identifying their needs, help connect them with resources, and perhaps most importantly, follow-up with families to ensure that the services were appropriately matched to their needs. The Navigators focus on providing services in six areas: Food, Transportation, Education, Income/Employment, Housing and Immigration/other. Interestingly, one of the persistently challenging needs they encounter is helping families locate affordable housing. This aligns with one of Frogtown-Summit-University ELC's focus areas. I look forward to continued contact with Children's Hospital staff and look forward to the opportunities that our newly formed partnership will produce!]]> 2018-04-30 13:42:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256506765 https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256577140 Children's Hospitals of Minnesota's Community Connect has three steps:
1. Identify
2. Connect
3. Follow Up
These three steps provide the pathway to supporting human, social, physical, financial, environmental, cultural, food/energy/community capital that build a fair/head/healthy/safe/moral start with the families they serve.  They hit them all as needed by families.
They talked about "warm-connections" that help the process go smoother.  That's a lingo that we can include in our work...since so much of what we do is warm connections.
It's fascinating to learn about the NowPow database and it's availability to community based organizations.  I hope to pursue that in our ELC and to pass that onto others.
The defined customized measures of success is another window to look through.  Their scale is informative and helpful.]]> 2018-04-30 15:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256577140 https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256584571 It was a great meeting and hope we have an opportunity to meet again and share notes. I found our conversation very helpful and insightful. It was great to see a team that is just developing and some what defining their identity. I found interesting how much automation (NowPow) there is in everything we do including our work with and within the our communities. But I really liked seeing that a personal connection (warm hand-off still have value.]]> 2018-04-30 16:03:03 UTC https://padlet.com/nikole_logan/childrenhospital/wish/256584571
