Registration is NOW OPEN for the 3rd annual Medicaid Equity Forums- Medicaid Matters: Amplifying Impact through Storytelling and Inclusive Communication.
Join DHS to discuss why Medicaid matters to health equity in Minnesota, how to best share that information within your community and how to share the story of what Medicaid means to you, as the program faces potentially significant cuts that will impact the people it serves.
Recognizing that advancing health equity is a collective effort, DHS will bring together a diverse group of partners to engage in shared visioning and collaborative action planning for the year ahead. They will also reflect on their collective work over the past year, and how previous forums have created action and impact. They hope to facilitate knowledge-sharing, listening, collaboration and collective commitment for sustaining statewide health equity efforts moving forward, with a focus on communication, health literacy and advocacy, considering the health care debate occurring at the national and state levels.
DHS hopes you will join them to share your perspective, connect with other partners engaged in advancing health equity, and continue to inform the health equity priorities of MN Medicaid.
