| Allina Hospitals & Clinics’ CEO receives ‘Community Builder’ award More than 400 people gathered on one of the last unfinished floors of Minneapolis' Allina Commons to recognize Dick Pettingill, Allina’s President & CEO as a ‘community builder.’ The award was presented by Urban Ventures, a community-based organization on Lake Street, as part of their annual dinner in celebration of the renewal of the old Sears building, now called Midtown Exchange, and their work to improve people’s lives. Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak helped to present the award. The vast former warehouse in which the event was held may have been stark, but among attendees, the energy and passion for making the neighborhoods around Chicago Avenue and Lake Street better was anything but. Allina Hospitals & Clinics is a not-for-profit system of hospitals, clinics and other health care services, providing care throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Allina owns and operates 11 hospitals, 65 clinics, home care and hospice services, oxygen and equipment, pharmacies, and emergency medical transportation services. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
