Rainbow Health Announces Closure

July 25, 2024

On July 19, the Board of Directors of Rainbow Health announced that it was closing the organization that for years has provided healthcare to Minnesota’s LGBTQ+ community.   

“Despite our best efforts to navigate the financial challenges that have confronted us, we have reached a point where continuing operations is no longer sustainable,” said a statement posted on its website.   

The statement went on to say: “we are actively working with local organizations to continue providing the critical services that our clients depend on. Clients will be informed of alternative care options, and we will facilitate the secure transfer of medical records in accordance with HIPAA guidelines.” 

The MMA has partnered with Rainbow Health on events and education over the years.
