Registration Open for September 4 Virtual Conversation on Culturally Responsive Care 

August 21, 2025

The Minnesota Health Equity Community of Practice (CoP) will host a virtual conversation about culturally responsive care on September 4, from noon to 1 pm. 

Culturally responsive care is essential to improving health outcomes and building trust with patients. In this session, Yeng Yang, MD, will highlight a project focused on creating culturally responsive diabetes and nutrition education and engagement that respects different food cultures. The work has centered on Somali, Hmong, and Ethiopian communities, with plans to expand to other food cultures as resources allow. 

This virtual meeting is open to all physicians, health 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.
