Office of African American Health

Office of African American Health staff

This office was established during the 2023 Legislative session to address the root causes of health disparities that disproportionately impact Minnesota’s African American communities, specifically multigenerational African Americans, or American descendants of slaves, and to convene an African American Health State Advisory Council.  

The office carries out this mission by focusing on health care quality and access, education quality and access, economic stability, social and community context related to inclusion and representation in society, and neighborhood and built environment. Strategies include collaborating with communities to advance existing efforts, working with internal systems and programs, and other systems change work.
