The 2026 legislative session ended last week with a rush of major bills passing in the final hours before the midnight adjournment deadline. One of them was the human services supplemental budget bill, which passed in the closing moments of the session. Although this bill may not affect Living Well as much as last year’s disability services cuts, it makes significant changes intended to strengthen program integrity in Minnesota’s Medicaid programs and places new caps on some disability waiver services.

Just days before the session ended, legislative leaders and the Governor reached a last-minute agreement on the supplemental budget that included a major surprise for human services — an additional $150 million in cuts to the human services budget in both this biennium and the next.

Celebrating Our Incredible Staff at the 2026 Living Well Picnic

On Tuesday, more than 240 Living Well employees and their families, volunteers, and people supported gathered at our Northland offices in Mendota Heights for this year’s Staff Appreciation Picnic, creating an afternoon full of laughter, connection, and celebration.

Despite cool temperatures and chilly winds, the weather didn’t slow anyone down. In true Minnesotan fashion, everyone bundled up, grabbed a
burger, and enjoyed the day together. From yard games to ice cream treats, the picnic was a chance for staff from across the organization to step away from their daily routines and spend time connecting with coworkers and friends.
