Ribbon Cutting: LEAP Pediatric and Adolescent Care


Opening in the late fall of 2022, Leap Pediatric and Adolescent Care in St. Paul has been welcoming patients for a new kind of care. This small, independent nonprofit clinic aims to provide health care to patients who face the greatest barriers to wellness and health. The clinic is right in the heart of the Midway neighborhood, and even its location is strategic to breaking barriers: It’s right along the light rail’s Green Line and close to public housing. The next phase of the clinic will open in the spring. The organization is hoping to add up to two more providers then and will be able to serve up to 5,000 patients.

Leo Lewis III crowned Winter Carnival’s 86th King Boreas


Leo E. Lewis III made a name for himself wearing purple — but now it’s time for him to put on blue.


The former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver and longtime president of Lewis Sports Foundation, a youth mentorship nonprofit bridging his educational and pro sports careers, was crowned the 86th King Boreas at the St. Paul Winter Carnival’s Royal Coronation on Friday.


When Lewis agreed to serve as Boreas last February — after he’d been “courted quite a bit” by colleagues and former Boreases — he faced a learning curve. Lewis, who has multigenerational family ties to St. Paul but who himself grew up in Missouri, said that the couple Winter Carnival events he and his family went to last year were among the first he’d attended.


Since then, he’s learned about the finer points of the Winter Carnival legend through regular meetings with a mentorship group of former kings, and he’s come to fully understand the role of the character in setting the tone for the Royal Family and Carnival at large.
