Statement on George Floyd’s Death

May 28, 2020

The Twin Cites Medical Society and the Minnesota Medical Association are saddened and troubled by the death of George Floyd. His death serves as a stark reminder that violent police tactics, discrimination in crime laws, and bias in incarceration pose serious threats to health.

Minnesota’s deep and persistent racial and ethnic disparities, including disparities in health, can only be dismantled by changing historic policies and cultures built on racism. The physicians of Minnesota stand prepared to work with local and state leaders to prioritize the health and well-being of all Minnesotans and to try to prevent future tragedies.
