The MMA is seeking physician and physician-in-training volunteers to help guide the development of educational programming and related resources to accelerate optimal health for all Minnesotans.
Although Minnesota ranks high in health outcomes compared to other states, many Minnesotans experience significant gaps in their health, including older adults, people with disabilities, rural populations, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people who are racially or ethnically minoritized.
The Optimal Health for All Advisory Council (OHEAC) will guide the identification of education, clinical tools, and/or practical resources to assist physicians in reducing inequities in their practices and communities, and in enhancing patient-physician trust.
The OHEAC will convene for its first meeting during the second quarter of 2025. Meetings will take place quarterly, with more frequent smaller work group meetings as needed. Members are asked to commit to at least one year of serving on the committee. The committee will serve in an advisory capacity, and will not be responsible for examining public policy or making policy recommendations.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Haley Brickner by June 9.
