Community Health Alliance Programs

---

We are excited to share as a Minnesota Department of Health Regional Health Equity Network Grantee our Grant Project! Care Resource Connection will develop and facilitate a series of monthly community health forums to help identify Trusted Community Messengers in Anoka County. These messengers will brainstorm, identify, and plan strategies and efforts to increase health equity amongst their respective communities. The goal of this project is to collaboratively address health inequities and connect and educate partnering agencies with community leaders from migrant communities, immigrant communities, aging populations, the LGBTQIA+ community, and various diverse religious and race identifiers. Creating a Health Equity Data Analysis focused on barriers to accessing primary care, social determinants of health for this geographic area and the factors of health equity therein, for any and all populations who face health inequities. Extend the use of Community Health Workers to embed with numerous fire and public safety agencies within our Community Health Model to address health equity in targeted populations. Stay tuned for more information!
