Community leaders hear call to action for Sesame Street in Communities initiative Thursday, January 28, 2021 10:52 AM Iowa’s human services and health director got some face time Wednesday with one of Sesame Street’s most beloved Muppets, Grover. Kelly Garcia, director of the Iowa Department of Human Services and interim director of the Iowa Department of Health, helped Grover — who was frustrated about not being able to find his hat to wear for the video — to talk about his feelings with some help from Teree Caldwell-Johnson, CEO of Oakridge Neighborhood. The skit played out not on television but on a live videoconference call aimed at introducing the new Sesame Street in Communities initiative to Central Iowa.
