CiTY PROFILE APPLE VALLEY (Twin Cities Region) CULTURE CARE CONNECTION is an online learning and resource center designed to increase the cultural competence of health care providers, administrators, and health care organization staff in serving diverse populations. Simply put, “culture” can refer to a variety of factors, including age, education level, income level, place of birth, length of residency in a country, individual experiences, and identification with community groups. “Competence” refers to knowledge that enables a person to effectively communicate, and “care” refers to the ability to provide effective clinical care. Through Stratis Health’s Culture Care Connection City Profiles, health care organizations can better understand their geographic service areas by observing the characteristics of the city, surrounding region, greater Minnesota, and the nation with respect to demographic, socioeconomic, and health status data. The quantitative and qualitative data in this profile can broaden understanding and help users consider actions for responding to the area’s most pressing needs. Use this information to advance your organization’s implementation of the Office of Minority Health’s Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) Standards. The 14 CLAS standards serve as guiding principles for ensuring accessibility and appropriateness of health care services delivered to diverse populations. This information also is valuable if your organization uses less formal approaches in providing culturally sensitive services, or if you just are interested in learning more about health disparities in your city. Region is defined as Economic Development Region (EDR), the multi-county groupings established by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The Twin Cities Metropolitan EDR is composed of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties. To prevent inaccurate extrapolation, careful attention should be paid to identifiers in graphs and narrative, which delineate between city, county, region, and state level data. Demographics Age • Gender • Race • Foreign Born • Language Demographic data reveal the following state-level trends: • Minnesota’s population is projected to grow substantially by 2035, with slight growth in younger age groups and substantial growth in older age groups. These changes will influence the overall age composition of the state. • Gender is evenly distributed across age groups, with notable exceptions in the older age groups which have a larger proportion of females. • Minnesota’s population continues to become more diverse. Between 2000 and 2010, the Asian, Black, and Hispanic/Latino populations increased at a rate of 50.9%, 59.8%, and 74.5% respectively, as compared with the white population which increased by only 2.8%.
In 2010, the city of Apple Valley had a population of 49,084, up from 45,527 in 2000. In the Twin Cities, the
population increased by 7.9%, growing from 2,642,062 to 2,849,567 based on economic development region
(EDR) data during the same decade. In Dakota County, the population increased by 12%.
Apple Valley's population is projected to grow to 71,200 by 2030. Estimates from 2005 project that the
entire Twin Cities metro area's population will increase by 20.6% between 2005 and 2035, growing from
just over 3 million people in 2005 to 3,352,500 in 2035.

What providers need to know:
The proportion of Minnesota’s older population, as well as ethnic and immigrant communities, will
grow faster than the rest of the state’s population in the next 25 years. Consider whether your
organization is prepared to meet the special needs of these populations.
Suggestions:
Become familiar with the needs of older populations, as well as individuals from diverse backgrounds,
and develop strategies to accommodate them, including: referrals to transportation services, allowing
more time for patient encounters, incorporating age related issues such as hearing screens into preventive
services and providing patient education materials in alternative formats.

STRATIS HEALTH - WWW.CULTURECARECONNECTION.ORG 3 CITY REPORT: APPLE VALLEYSuggestions:
Get to know your patients and staff on an individual level. Not all your patients and staff from diverse populations
conform to commonly known culture-specific behaviors, beliefs, and actions. Understanding an individual’s practice
of cultural norms can allow providers to quickly build rapport and ensure effective health care communication.

Immigrant Population by Region of Birth - Minnesota: 2009
Foreign Born
Minnesota's population growth between 2000 and
2010 was driven by an increase in minority residents
that accounted for more than 80% of the state's
growth. Minority residents now make up about one of
every seven state residents. In 2009, one third
Minnesota's immigrant population came from four
countries: Somalia (23%), Ethopia (9%), Kenya (6%)
and Liberia (6%).
During the period 2005-2009, 8.6% of Apple Valley's population, or 4,260 people, were estimated to have
been born outside the U.S. - lower than the 12.4% estimate for the U.S. as a whole.
What providers need to know:
Important factors to consider in providing care to immigrant populations include: nutritional status, mental
health (especially in refugee populations), infectious diseases such as Hepatitis B status, dental screening,
and preventive health measures, including cancer screenings which are not often available in third world
countries. Specific health care screening recommendations depend on an individual’s country of origin and
immigration status.
Suggestions:
Provide information to patients not familiar with the western medical system such as guidance on obtaining
health insurance, setting up initial and follow-up appointments, and practicing preventive health, including
cancer screenings. Become familiar with health screening recommendations for your patients based on their
country of origin and immigration status.
Conduct a CLAS (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services) Standards Assessment to identify
strengths and opportunities for improvement in the services your organization offers to diverse populations.

STRATIS HEALTH - WWW.CULTURECARECONNECTION.ORG 4 CITY REPORT: APPLE VALLEYLanguage According to the Minnesota Department of Education, during the period 2008-2009, the most common languages spoken other than English in the Twin Cities metro area were Spanish (8.4%), Asian and Pacific Islander languages (3.6%), other Indo-European languages (2.8%) and other languages (4.3%). In Dakota County, during the period 2008-2009, Spanish was the primary language in 3,193 homes, while Vietnamese was spoken in 528 homes, Russian in 358 homes, Hmong in 325 homes and Cambodian in 314 homes. During the period 2005-2009, more than 1 in 10 Apple Valley residents, or 11.4%, was estimated to speak a language other than English at home. According to the 2010-2011, Primary Home Language report from the Minnesota Department of Education, Spanish was the number one language spoken, other than English, in Rosemont-Apple Valley-Eagan ISD 196. What providers need to know: Language barriers pose a challenge to even the most basic clinical encounters. According to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Minority Health: • Health care organizations must offer and provide language assistance services, including bilingual staff or interpreter services, at no cost to each patient/consumer with limited English proficiency (LEP) at all points of contact, in a timely manner, during all hours of operation. • Family and friends should not be used to provide interpretation services. Suggestions: Provide an interpreter to patients who do not speak English or who have Limited English Proficiency as a way to encourage them to freely communicate expectations and preferences. For all patients, especially those who speak English as a second language, use simple language, avoid technical terms, abbreviations, and professional jargon.

It provides valuable insights about diverse populations. Education influences occupational opportunities and earning potential in addition to providing knowledge and life skills that may promote health. Income provides a means for purchasing health care coverage and also may determine eligibility for assistance programs for those who cannot afford coverage.

Chronic stress associated with lower socioeconomic status can contribute to morbidity and mortality and is
linked to a wide range of health problems, including arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension,
and low birthweight.
Suggestions:
Consider how a patient's socioeconomic status (education, income, occupation) may affect health risks and
ability to follow treatment plans. Become familiar with eligibility requirements and service offerings from
local health, housing, and social service programs, including medical assistance, food support, and cash
assistance. Dial 211 United Way First Call for Help to get information and referrals about employment,

Health Status Data Birth • Morbidity
The health status data concerning birth rates and factors contributing to the incidence of disease revealed the
following:
• A need for increased efforts to provide prenatal care in the general population as well as an awareness of
birth trends in populations of color.
• Greater potential for engagement in behaviors which increase the burden of poor health in populations of
color.

What providers need to know:
Patients from diverse cultures may have varying perceptions of the concepts of disease and preventive care.
Patients may not understand the reason for their illness or the importance of keeping follow-up appointments
and adhering to treatment plans even though they may no longer be feeling symptoms. Follow-up visits are
important in identifying changes in health due to treatment and to avoid potential disease reccurrence.
Suggestions:
Provide alternative treatment options and acknowledge that patients from diverse cultures may use
traditional cultural approaches to health care.
