“Blue-a-palooza” is one of our favorite summer traditions at our Eagan offices. Each July, we come together to celebrate our people, thank them for the work they do every day, and recognize the role they play in helping our members live their healthiest lives. This year, the weather was perfect for everyone to enjoy planting herbs, playing mini golf, enjoying a meal from one of many local food trucks, and much more. We also received a special visit from Goldy Gopher and a University of Minnesota Twin Cities marching band quintet.

The air outside affects more than your lungs.

With air quality alerts across Minnesota, it’s a good reminder that wildfire smoke can affect your entire body. Fine particles in smoke can irritate your lungs, worsen asthma or COPD, and even put added stress on your heart.

If you’re able:
• Limit time outdoors.
• Keep windows closed.
• Use your vehicle’s recirculate setting when driving.
• Check the Air Quality Index before heading outside.

Taking a few simple precautions can help protect your health while air quality remains poor. https://bit.ly/4flTL5u
