We are excited to announce Juniper is taking the next step in our evolution to have an even greater impact.

We are working to build a stronger, more integrated network of services as a community care hub. This model connects community organizations, healthcare providers, public health organizations and health insurers, bridging the gap between medical and social care. This work began with evidence-based health promotion classes, and we will continue to build on that momentum and add other social services to our community care hub.

Expanding the community care hub model requires upgrades to our current technology systems, including yourjuniper.org.

We will not be scheduling evidence-based health promotion classes while we build a better Juniper technology platform. This new system will have a wider variety of services to choose from in addition to a menu of health promotion classes.

We will continue to use yourjuniper.org through the end of 2025. All classes currently in progress or scheduled will continue as planned unless you hear from your class leader. Our plan is to bring a new and improved Juniper network online at the beginning of 2026, at which point we will resume scheduling classes.

Since our community care hub bill did not pass the Minnesota legislature this past spring, there is less grant funding to support free and low-cost evidence-based health promotion classes in 2026. You therefore may notice a decrease in class availability next year. We will be working hard with our class leaders and partner organizations this fall to develop a robust plan for 2026 classes.

We apologize for any inconvenience this upgrade may cause. Please feel free to reach out to info@yourjuniper.org or your class leader with any questions you have about Juniper.

Thank you for being part of the Juniper community!
