Lead Agency: Minnesota Asian American Health Coalition [17]

The project in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is working to strengthen and diversify its coalition. This four-year project is developing a "Minnesota Community Blueprint for Asian and Pacific Islander Health," based on hundreds of past community recommendations. Data collection to document disparities is a priority, as is ongoing advocacy, including a hearing on "Asian Health Disparities in Minnesota," in which 17 federal, state, and local officials heard testimony describing the impact of health disparities and a panel on the imminent state budget deficit and how to advocate for AA and NHPI communities in the budget process.
