We’re on the road for safer care.
The MAPS Caring Safely Tour officially launched at United Hospital, where we learned from their outstanding program, Mobility Matters — a powerful example of what’s possible when safety is shaped by the people who live it and work it every day.
This tour is a statewide learning and listening series designed to spotlight what’s working in patient and resident safety across care settings — hospitals, long-term care, and beyond.
At each stop, we bring together safety champions, frontline staff, and patient partners to learn from one another and identify practical strategies that support Safety-II thinking:
✔️ People are the solution
✔️ We learn from success
✔️ Real work ≠ imagined work
At United, we welcomed 11 Safety Fellows from multiple organizations who came to learn, share, and strategize together. They left energized and full of ideas to bring back to their teams.
Special thanks to our tour Champions:
United Hospital, a part of Allina Health led by Katie Harmon, Sarah Craig, MSN, RN, Mallory Koshiol, Krista Applebee, Cynthia Bayer and their amazing Mobility Committee Champions.
We were thrilled to welcome our first Safety Fellows:
Julie Apold from LeadingAge Minnesota

This is just the beginning. We will be sharing our learnings along the way. Follow along as the tour continues — amplifying frontline innovation, building statewide connections, and reigniting our shared mission: Safe Care Everywhere.
