Welcome to Juniper
As a healthcare provider, you are part of the backbone of Minnesota’s care delivery system. You regularly make referrals to services that help your patients thrive. We encourage you to include Juniper classes in your mix of referrals.
Juniper offers supportive, educational programs for patients with chronic pain and disease and those who would benefit from increased physical activity. Classes are evidence-based (see clinical summaries below) and support and extend the care you provide.
Our programs can help you achieve care management goals and produce better quality outcomes for your patients.
