Did you know the origin of Woodbury Thrives? We started after Senator Dave Durenberger came to speak to the Woodbury Community Foundation Leadership Forum in June 2014. His topic? Focusing on the 80% of health care outcomes that come from outside the doctor's office. "The key to changing the health care system in this country...is grassroots engagement dealing with the 80 percent of healthcare costs that needs to be dealt with at the community level - the social determinants of health.” ![]()

We started as a handful of people forming a working group to think about a "culture of health" and have evolved into an organization with hundreds of volunteers, in partnership with the city, county, numerous business, nonprofit, and civic organizations, working together to make our community better. None of what we do would be possible without the ideas and passion Senator Durenberger sparked in our community. We were so sorry to hear of his passing today and hope to do him proud by making Woodbury a healthier place for everyone.
