Website will be down for maintenance & upgrades in late April
By Lisa Foss Olson | March 28, 2025 | All members
Care Providers of Minnesota staff have been working with our vendor on planned maintenance and upgrades for the website. It’s been 10 years since we’ve done a large project like this—the last time was back in 2015. The planned upgrades will take place in two phases: the first is the behind-the-scenes portions of our website—areas that you don’t see but allow us to perform functions such as registration for events, our store, billing, etc. Phase two will be a new look for the website, making it even easier to find the information you need.
We are soon ready to go “live” with phase one updates. To do so, our website will need to be down. This will begin on Friday, April 25, 2025. We plan to be up and running on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. During this time, you will not be able to access anything on our website, including two issues of our
ACTION newsletter. Instead, our April 25th and May 2nd issues will be sent to members as a PDF. Staff will still be available via phone, text, or email to answer your questions and/or concerns.

Once the upgrades have been completed, nothing on your end will change—your username and password will stay the same; you’ll register for events the same…in fact, for the user, it will be like nothing has happened!
Part two will take place later this year, but more on that later. For now, just know the website will be down, April 25-May5, 2025, and that you can reach staff via our main phone number: 952-854-2844 and by email.
