HSAC is particularly focused on evidence-based coverage policy, in which decisions regarding healthcare services paid for by public programs are made using the best available research on their effectiveness.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), which oversees the HSAC, is committed to ensuring culturally responsive services. DHS strongly encourages individuals from diverse cultural and ethnic communities in Minnesota to apply.
