Sen. Erin Maye Quade |
Quade was first elected to the state Legislature in 2017 and has served in the Minnesota Senate since 2023. She is one of the three first Black women and one of the first of two openly LGBTQ+ women elected to the Minnesota Senate. In her public service career, she has championed legislative initiatives to increase access to reproductive healthcare, maternal health, funding for early childhood programs, and has fought to implement common sense firearm safety laws in Minnesota.
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, contact Haley Brickner, the MMA’s health equity coordinator.
