On April 19 and May 9, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) will host "Community Conversations" about building racial equity into Minnesota’s Medicaid program for U.S.- born Black Minnesotans.
The virtual meetings will focus on the report co-created with the community in previous conversations, Building Racial Equity into the Walls of Minnesota Medicaid: A focus on U.S.- born Black Minnesotans.
DHS Medicaid Medical Director and MMA member Nathan Chomilo, MD, and colleagues will share the final report’s recommendations, discuss actions all can take to support this work and gather feedback on the report and the process that created it from community members through facilitated discussion.
U.S.- born Black Minnesotans enrolled in Medicaid and those working to advance racial equity in health care are encouraged to participate in one of the Community Conversations from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 19, or Monday, May 9.
Closed captioning will be available. Email BREWMedicaid.DHS@state.mn.us for other accommodations.
