Northeast Regional Network

Welcome to the Northeast Health Equity Regional Network Connection platform. This space is a tool to support work in health equity. It can be used to build relationships; support existing work and activities; to share expertise; provide resources; and influence policy, structural, and system changes with a goal to providing the best health and wellness outcomes for all.

In the July Northeast Regional Network Gathering, we spotlighted the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging (4A's) , and flashlighted the Minnesota Department of Health Rural Health and Primary Care and their request for information on rural perspectives. The information in slide form is attached to the Presentations and Documents from Gatherings section. Last but not least, my teammate Mary Mitchell ( Northwest Regional Network Coordinator) presented on microagressions. Her power point presentation and the accompanying video is in the Presentations and Documents section as well.

I believe that shared language helps promote understanding and a view of health equity that benefits everyone.

The Health Equity Networks are focused on building connections, strengthening communities, and amplifying the interconnected work of health equity, particularly in communities and health systems. To maintain the family-friendly nature of this page, please keep comments on topic and suitable for everyone. Also, please follow our guidelines below for posting comments.
