On November 17, Minnesota Rep. Ruth Richardson (DFL-Mendota Heights) will meet with the Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP) via Zoom to present legislative updates and priorities relevant to heath equity.
Richardson co-chairs the House Select Committee on Racial Justice and is a member of the People of Color and Indigenous (POCI) Caucus. She will also include a Q & A session in her presentation.
The CoP is a peer network dedicated to advancing health equity and addressing the significant racial and ethnic health disparities that persist throughout Minnesota. Every two to three months, health equity leaders and professionals come together to exchange expertise, network, and discuss issues and priorities.
The CoP is open to all professionals and leaders from Minnesota health systems, medical groups, and medical associations with an interest in health equity. If you are interested in joining or learning more, please contact Haley Brickner, the MMA’s health equity coordinator.
