Equitable Care and Coverage

Research shows that uninsured people are far more likely than those with insurance to delay healthcare or go without it entirely. The effects on uninsured individuals can be devastating, particularly when preventable or life-threatening conditions are left untreated, or chronic diseases undetected.

Through the Equitable Care and Coverage program, the Foundation partners with nonprofits across the state to help people who are eligible for public program coverage under Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare. The Equitable Care and Coverage program seeks to increase healthcare coverage across Minnesota, support community solutions to accessing equitable care, and increase awareness about communities most impacted by a lack of healthcare access.

The greatest opportunity to increase equitable care and coverage is to support the organizations embedded in the communities that face the greatest need, so all Minnesotans have access to coverage and care that is timely, affordable and patient-centered.
