On June 26 at noon, MN Community Measurement (MNCM) will present key findings from its two annual reports on healthcare disparities in Minnesota, as part of the Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP).

The collection and use of data to improve health outcomes and health equity is currently a high priority in Minnesota and nationally, and the landscape is evolving rapidly.
This virtual meeting is open to all physicians, professionals, and leaders from Minnesota health systems, medical groups, and medical associations with an interest in health equity. To register, click here.
The CoP is a peer network dedicated to advancing health equity and addressing the significant racial and ethnic health disparities that persist throughout Minnesota. Health equity leaders and professionals come together quarterly to exchange expertise, network, and discuss issues and priorities. If you are interested in joining or learning more, please contact Haley Brickner, the MMA’s health equity coordinator.
