| January 16 - Health Equity Committee MeetingYou're Invited: Connection as a Public Health Priority – Virtual Mixer As we begin the new year, please join with the health equity committee to help us find a sense of strength + flexibility that makes up resiliency in the body and mind; and find connection to community through networking, sharing insights and relationship building with other attendees. This will help us begin the new year knowing we will not just handle but figure out how to THRIVE in our lives as we continue the hard work to advance health equity - no matter what 2025 brings. |
January 24 - Public Health Matters Policy Forum SeriesThe theme for this year’s breakfast forum series is all about working outside the box to tackle some of our most difficult and persistent issues that directly impact public health. This requires public health professionals to work with non-traditional partners to ensure basic needs of people are met and sound policies exist to achieve optimum health for all Minnesotans. The forums will be in-person at New Brighton Community Center. |
