We are so grateful for Laura and all she does for Northeast Minnesota prevention work

To those of us who know and work with Laura Bennett (Regional Prevention Coordinator with the Carlton-Cook-Lake-St. Louis CHB), this award comes as no surprise. She is generous with her wisdom, careful to make sure everyone feels they belong, and steadfast in her commitment to relationship building. We are honored to work alongside you, Laura!

The annual Minnesota-SOPHE (Minnesota Society for Public Health Education) Awards celebrate the amazing leadership, dedication, and impact of health professionals across Minnesota. The individuals recognized are people who go above and beyond to promote health and well-being in their communities.

This award was granted back in October, but it's never too late to celebrate one of our dedicated public health staff! Way to go, Laura!
