Merriam Park Living At Home Block Nurse Program
Elderly residents in four neighborhoods in St. Paul received information and took actions to reduce junk mail (144 seniors) and identify and properly dispose of toxins in their homes (101 seniors). The seniors were educated through workshops and at community events such as the flu shot clinic. Three staff worked one-on-one with seniors. They also educated seniors about junk mail and household hazardous waste through their print newsletter that went to 230 seniors. Merriam Park Living at Home Block Nurse Program is confident they will continue their education to seniors now that they have become knowledgeable about these waste topics.
