About Elevate
Because we all want to age well.
Our Mission: We curate opportunities for adults to improve their physical, mental, and social health so they can live happier, healthier lives.
Who We Are
Elevate is a local campaign founded to help adults in northeastern Otter Tail County age well. Elevate partners with area organizations to both promote existing and create new opportunities for residents to improve their physical, mental, and social health. Whether someone is needing help eating well, staying active, making connections, understanding their Medicare plan, and more, Elevate can connect them with the information or resources they need to optimize their health. Perham’s Elevate program is a grant-based pilot campaign awarded to Perham Health and funded by Leading Age Minnesota Foundation and UCare Minnesota. One of only four such initiatives in the state, Elevate was founded in 2022 to address the expected increase of healthcare concerns for a growing population of adults.
Who We Serve
While the opportunities we promote are open to all ages, we are particularly interested in reaching residents ages 45 and better to help them lengthen their healthspan.
Why We Do It
We believe that we all deserve to age well, but that requires we each take intentional action to live well. In addition to increased happiness, staying healthy also saves money: data shows that the longer adults can remain healthy and in their own homes, the less expense is incurred by individuals, families, hospitals, and insurance companies alike.

Holistic Health
We believe your physical, mental, and social health are intimately connected and all need to be nurtured. We promote opportunities that positively impact all areas of your health.
