Event Recap
As the premiere for CHC’s #ForHealthEquity Giving Day on March 11, leaders from UnitedHealth Group, UCare, HealthPartners, MEDICA Foundation, Liberty Diversified International, ASTCA, and the Minnesota Department of Health gathered with top corporations and nonprofits for a Greater Twin Cities Virtual Convening on health equity.
In her keynote, Dr. Sandra Nichols, UnitedHealth Group, explained health equity is not only a moral imperative, but if left unaddressed, health disparity costs are projected to reach over $50 billion in 2050. That same year, minorities are expected to comprise the majority of the U.S. population. To tackle these challenges, we must address the factors that adversely affect health—the Social Determinants of Health.
After the keynote, panelists Toweya Brown-Ochs, HealthPartners; Pleasant Radford Jr., UCare; and Amy Maheswaran Lopez, Minnesota Department of Health; along with moderator John Stanoch, CHC and MEDICA Foundation Board Member; held a lively discussion on health equity at the community level.
Finally, participants explored opportunities and next steps in breakout rooms led by JoAnn Birkholz, MEDICA Foundation; Camille Pearson Walz, Liberty Diversified International; and Angie Dahl, ASTCT and CHC Board Member.
