Many Stars Capital Campaign

As the trusted healthcare provider for the Cedar-Riverside area, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Minnesota, People’s Center has earned a high rate of patient satisfaction and has built tight ties with the community. With this success, and an ever-expanding community, comes even greater expectations and greater need for and reliance on People’s Center services. 

To better serve this growing number of patients, many of them with more complex needs related to their health, People’s Center needs to remodel its Cedar-Riverside Clinic. People’s Center will concentrate its services in a centrally located, state-of-the art clinic, allowing physical health services, dentistry, behavioral health, community gathering space and cultural resources to co-exist in one location. This enhanced clinic space will allow People’s Center to elevate their care model and lower barriers to access for even more community members in need of primary care that takes into account their language, religion, cultural background, community relationships and more.

To create this improved integrated space People’s Center is undertaking a $7.9M capital campaign - The Many Stars Campaign.  The campaign allows for the needed remodeling to People’s Center Cedar-Riverside facility and will enable infrastructure and programming support to assure the development and implementation of new programs and models as they are needed to respond now and in the future.
