The Minnesota Health Department has health resources available specific to refugees. You can access those resources on their website.

These resources are a just-in-time tool for our care providers and staffs, who want to learn, connect and build a cross-cultural relationship through preference languages of patients and families.

Culture Care Connection is an online resource center for health care providers, frontline staff, and administrators. Stratis Health, a Minnesota based organization developed these Culturally Competent Care online materials for Minnesota’s diverse demographics. Visit their website to access valuable resources.

In 2019, M Health Fairview kicked off Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that are formed based on shared purpose around life experiences, identities or interests. ERGs foster an inclusive people-driven culture and promote action in service to our communities, our patients, and our people.

Visit the ERG website to learn more about Employee Resource Groups and the resources they provide.

In April 2018, M Health Fairview co-sponsored a Transgender Healthcare Summit with The Rainbow Health Initiative and The University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital. The day was deigned to provide education about transgender healthcare needs, including primary and preventative care, surgical options, and mental health considerations. Below are some resources from the summit.
